Finally, after playing around with perl debugger, I got my script working. here is the code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::SSH::Expect;

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect-> new (
        host => "10.10.10.10",
        password => "current_password",
        user => "root",
        raw_pty => 1,
        timeout => 10,
        log_file => "log_file"  # this line actually got my head spinn
+ing in right direction
);

my $login_output=$ssh->login();
if ( $login_output =~ /Last/ )
   {
   print "The login for ROOT was successful, Let's see if we can chang
+e the password \n";
   $ssh->send("passwd");
   $ssh->waitfor ('password:\s*', 10) or die "Where is the first passw
+ord prompt??";
   $ssh->send("new_password");
   $ssh->waitfor ('password:\s*', 10) or die "Where is the Second pass
+word promp??";
   $ssh->send("new-password");
   $ssh->waitfor('passwd:\s*',5); # And this was the kicker, I was mis
+sing this in my original script
   print "The password for ROOT has been changed successfully \n";
   }
   else
   {
      die "The log in for ROOT was _not_ successful.\n";
   }

Thnx for all the responses.

@Salva: Thanks for your script. It was a much needed one. I haven't yet tried your script but I will soon try it out.
