I'm trying to use the Net::SSH2::Cisco module against Cisco Nexus switches and keep getting a timeout when executing the command. The logs show the command executed (I recieved the expected response from the switch), but the script timesout. This same script runs perfectly against and IOS switch. I think it may be waiting for the prompt but doesn't recognize it. Has anyone had luck getting this to work with Nexus gear? 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
#
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH2::Cisco;


my $t = Net::SSH2::Cisco->new(
                                host => 'nexus-switch',
                                Dump_log => '/root/dump.log',
                                Output_log => '/root/output.log',
                                Input_log => '/root/input.log',
                                Waitfor_clear => '0'
                                );

$t->login(
                Name => 'name',
                Password => 'passwd'
                );

# Execute Command

my @output = $t->cmd(string => "show clock");
print @output;


$t->close;
