yes, when i originally ran the script from the command line as the web user (not root) i got an error like this: 
mkdir /home/httpd/vhosts/yeahman.com/.ssh: Permission denied at /usr/l
+ib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SSH/Perl/Util/Hosts.pm line 50

it was apparently trying to create the .ssh directory in the home directory of the web user...so i had a look at that directory and the permissions were set up incorrectly, so i changed them and the next time i ran the script from the command line it created the .ssh directory fine and i thought i was going to be out of the woods at that point

however, the script still fails when i run it using the web browser, and so i am scouring the local server's settings to see why exactly that would occur
