Is Net:SSH2 the way to go?

You'll probably get different recommendations from different people... but personally I've so far had good results with Net::SSH2 in cases where I couldn't use the system ssh. In other words, I wouldn't give up right away with your attempts to install it.

As to the "libssh2.so: undefined reference to dlerror" error, undefined reference problems are often caused by mismatching versions of libraries.  It would help us (to help you) if you posted an exact description of what you did, the verbatim error message in the context where it appeared, the versions of libs/module, the OS you're using, etc.
