For the Life of me I can not figure out why I can't get the following code to work. I know the destination is running ssh 2 and I can SSH to it.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SSH::Perl;
use strict;

my (%params, $ssherr, $sshexit);

$params{'protocol'} = '2';
$params{'port'} = '22';
$params{'debug'} = 'true';
$params{'interactive'} = 'true';
$params{'compression'} = 'false';
$params{'identity_files'} = [$ENV{HOME}."/.ssh/id_rsa"];
$params{'options'} = ["RSAAuthentication yes", 
            "PasswordAuthentication no", 
            "ConnectTimeout 10",
            "BatchMode no",
            "FallBackToRsh no",
            "RhostsAuthentication no",
            "RhostsRSAAuthentication no",
            "KeepAlive yes"];


my $sshconn = Net::SSH::Perl->new("secsscsr01", %params);

$sshconn->login('user', 'password');
    
my ($out1, $err1, $exit2) = $sshconn->cmd("ls -l");                
    
if ($out1){print "Output:\n$_\n\n";}
if ($err1){print "Error:\n$_\n\n";}
print "Exit Code:\n$exit2\n\n";

I get the following when it is executed:
