Net::SSH::Perl seems to work for me. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
no warnings;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

use constant HOST => 'localhost';
use constant USER => 'user';
use constant PASS => 'password';
use constant CMD  => 'wc';

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new(
          HOST,
          protocol => 2,
          debug    => 1,
);
$ssh->login(USER, PASS);

my $intext = 'X' x 10632;

my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd(CMD, $intext);

print "remote output is: ", $stdout,
      "remote stderr is: ", $stderr, "\n",
      "remote exit status is: ", $exit, "\n";
