in reply to Follow up: String Formatting

Seems to me that if it was a question of reference counts, you could achieve the same thing with 
$ssh->login($username, "$password");

Does that work?

    I guess it is not a question of reference counts then. I have tried the following 
    $ssh->login($username, "$password");

    [download]
    and 
    my $newpass = $password;
$ssh->login($username, $newpass);

    [download]
    and 
    $ssh->login($username, scalar($password));

    [download]
    All to no avail. The only thing that has worked is either me hardcoding the password into my script or me using the Data::Dumper technique.
