Some questions:
1) Do the opensuse and ubuntu systems both execute commands on the *same* remote machine ?
2) Do the opensuse and ubuntu systems run the same version of Net::SSH2 ?
3) Is Net::SSH2 built against the same version of the libssh2 library ?
4) Do the opensuse and ubuntu systems both run the same version of perl ?

On my Win32 machine (perl-5.12.0, Net-SSH2-0.33, libssh2-1.2.7) connecting to a linux server, your script runs fine.
It also runs fine if I remove the ext_data() call - so try removing that line of code from your script and see if that makes any difference.

Cheers,
Rob
