I did notice the Net::SSH2 option in the UWinnipeg PPMs; I suppose I could go that way, or could go with plink-style command line tool and send it a bunch of system calls.
Another strange detail is that other people seem to have success with ssh->cmd() if they redirect its stdout to a file. If I could get that far, I could probably wing the rest of it (through a gross overreliance on downloading the redirected stdout file). I can't even do THAT - even a cmd() with redirected stdout still hangs.
