HI , I am running a perl script which will login and execute the commands on the host.After executing each command i want to find out whether the command execute is sucess or not..I am not able to find it! Below is the code.. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Net::SSH::Expect;

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new (
        host => "$host",
        user => 'xxxx',
        timeout=>7,
        raw_pty => 1
    );

$password="yyyyy";

Login in to the host
-------------------------

$prompt="[Pp]assword";
$ssh->run_ssh(); #Added newly
$ssh->waitfor('qr/\(yes\/no\)\?$/',2);
$ssh->send("yes\n");
$ssh->waitfor('qr/$prompt:\s*$/',5);
$ssh->send("$password");

Executing commands on host
--------------------------------
$cmd="ls";
my $output=$ssh->exec($cmd,"5") or die "Error\n";
eval { $mov=$ssh->exec("echo $?\n","2"); }; warn $@ if $@;
print "value is $mov\n"; BY default this value is 0,even if we execute
+ the invalid commands.

$ssh->close();
