I had had issues trying to include the -k in the sudo command

The -k switch may be a recent addition to sudo not yet available in the version you have installed.

and it does seem to work except that I have to hit Enter for it to go into interactive mode

You are already in interactive mode but you don't notice it because Expect is eating the shell prompt. Try the following script: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::OpenSSH;
use Expect;

my $host = $ARGV[0];
my $pass1 = $ARGV[1];
my $pass2 = $ARGV[2];

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, passwd => $pass1);
$ssh->error and die "unable to connect to remote host: " . $ssh->error
+;

$ssh->system("sudo -K");

my ( $pty, $pid ) = $ssh->open2pty({stderr_to_stdout => 1}, 'sudo', -p
+ => 'configtest:', 'bash', '-i')
    or return "failed to attempt sudo bash: $!\n";

my $expect = Expect->init($pty);

$expect->expect(2,
                [ qr/configtest:/ => sub { shift->send("$pass2\n"); ex
+p_continue;} ],
                [ qr/Sorry/       => sub { die "Login failed" } ],
                [ qr/.*#\s+/      => sub { print shift->match }]
               ) or die "Timeout!";

$expect->interact();
