This is probably a silly question, but have you installed libssh2?

I can't imagine that your code wouldn't bail immediately if you hadn't, but I suppose it's a reasonable troubleshooting first step.

If installing libssh2 proves difficult, you may wish to look into using Net::SSH::Perl, which IIRC (if I'm reading correctly) has no external dependencies.

Alternatively, you could look into using Net::SSH, which acts as a wrapper around an ssh binary on your system, which would hopefully work (on windows) without issues given a C:\Progra~1\Putty\putty.exe as the command => $command init setup.
