Just started experimenting with Perl, and my goal in this little project is to ssh to remote host(s) and process some files, run some commands, and stuff..I am able to ssh user@localhost from the command line but I seem to be doing something wrong in my script: 

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host, debug=>1, protocol=>'2', identity
+_files=>["/Users/jaldama /.ssh/id_dsa.pub"],
);
$ssh->login($user);
.
.

and this is what happens!:

So I figured maybe I should run in interactive mode so it would prompt for the password...but i'm not being prompted for the password when I set it to 1.
