Hello !!! I forgot to attach the result from the suggestion using the $session->exp_internal(1);

root@F101-8:~#  cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.4

use Expect;

my $timeout = 5;
$session = new Expect;
$session->exp_internal(1);
#$session->debug(3);
$session->spawn("ssh 666.666.666.666 -l root\r");
$session->expect($timeout, "password:");
$session->send("wibbilwobble\r");
$session->expect($timeout, "F101");
$session->send("\r");
$session->expect($timeout, "F101");
$session->send("exit\r");
$session->expect($timeout, "F101");
