I'm tring to automate our password changes via Net::SSH::Perl and Net::SSH::Perl::Auth

The script works fine with a hard coded login. However, when using:
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($server, identity_files => "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys", protocol=>'2,1'); my $auth = Net::SSH::Perl::Auth->new('RSA', $ssh);

the command: my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("$cmd"); fails to change the password, but appears to return with no error(after stepping thru with the debugger, the RSA authentication looks good but when printing out the variables, I get nothing back).

I tried passing the $auth ref: my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $auth->cmd("$cmd"); but this errors out. Am I missing code here?
