Hi Monks,
As you have helped me so well in the past, I come back for more advice.
I am currently writing a script to connect to an Alteon (a load balancer) using Net::SSH::Perl. The Alteon has a Command line interface which can be accessed through and SSH connection. I am using the following code with mixed results. 
my (%args) = @_;
$args {hostname} = "XX.XXX.XXX.XXX";
$args {dm_user} = "username";
$args {password} = "password";
$args {protocol} = "2,1";
$args {debug} = "1";

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($args {hostname}, %args);
$ssh -> login($args {dm_user}, $args {password});

$ssh -> shell;

This code will connect and give me the prompt I would see when logging in normally.
If I use the same connection, but try to pass a command like so 
# my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $test_hash {ssh_session} -> cmd ($cmd
+);

The connection is closed with the following message 
Received disconnect message:
Switch: SCP command not recognized.

 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SSH/Perl/SSH1.pm line 369

Has anyone any ideas that may help me. I am open to all ideas :-)
