Net::SSH2::LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK() doesn't work for me - complains about the absence of Term::ReadKey.
But the following works fine for me on Windows 7 with Strawberry Perl so long as I've established a connection to the host: 
$ssh2->check_hostkey('advisory', "C:/Cygwin/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts
+") 
    or $ssh2->die_with_error ;

However, auth_password() still fails for me with that same error about the unknown username/public key combo.
For authentication I need to use auth_publickey.

Cheers,
Rob
