Here is an older ssh script to show the idea. You might want to move up to Net::SSH2 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

# If error is: 
# Can't locate object method "blocking" via package 
#"IO::Handle" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/
# Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 212, <GEN0> line 1.

# then use "protocol => 2";


my %hostdata    = (
        'localhost' => {
                           user  => "z",
                       password  => "qumquat",
                       cmdtorun  => "ls -la",
                      misc_data  => [],
        },
        
    
   'zentara.zentara.net' => {
                               user  => "z",
                           password  => "aardvark",
                           cmdtorun  => "/usr/bin/uptime",
                          misc_data  => [],
        },

        
);

foreach my $host (keys %hostdata) {
    my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host, 
                       port => 22,
               debug => 1,
               protocol => 2,1
               
                );
    $ssh->login($hostdata{$host}{user},$hostdata{$host}{password} );

    my ($out) = $ssh->cmd($hostdata{$host}{cmdtorun});
    print "$out\n";
