Ok, Im trying to run a program on another server using Net::SSH::Perl. This program requires input, I have no trouble running simple commands like "ls -lah /blah/". Is there a way to provide Net::SSH::Perl with the input the program is going to need.

For example I might run the program getInfo.pl which prompts for the following information:

Whats your first name:
Whats your middle name:
Whats your last name:

Does anyone know how to do this, my code is below. 

use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $user = "testuser";
my $pass = "testpass";
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new("10.10.10.10");

$ssh->login($user,$pass);

$cmd = "getInfo.pl";
($out, $err, $exit) = $ssh->cmd($cmd);
print $out;
