OK.. so I'm using Net::SCP::Expect to automate some of my work. Check this bit of code: 

      my $scpe= new Net::SCP::Expect (
             host => 'myhost',
             user => 'myaccount',
             password => 'secret',
             recursive => 1,
             preserve => 1,
             compress => 1,
             no_check => 1, 
             timeout => 60,
             );
        $scpe -> scp ("/home/path/whatever",
                      "myaccount@myhost:/tmp/"
                      );

I've put as much of the code as I dare but that is the essence and I bomb out with 

scp timed out while trying to connect to myhost at script  line 122

I add a single line in the "new" call: 

verbose => 1

and the darn thing works. I hate to think I have to deal with the ugly output verbose mode gives, but it does make the script work.

Thoughts anybody?
