Is using CSSH a requeriment?

I ask because you are trying to automate an application that was never intended to be automated and it may be easy to use other approaches.

For instance, if you want to run commands in several hosts in parallel through ssh, Net::OpenSSH::Parallel may be a better option.

If you want to display the output in several terminals as cssh does, then you can use GTK+ and the excellent VTE terminal emulation widget (Gnome2::Vte). AFAIK, no similar widget exist for Tk.

You may also like to investigate urxvt, a terminal emulator with an embedded perl interpreter.
