What do these commands return? I mean, what if you try to say $ssh->cmd("enable theEnablePassword");?
Sorry if my advice was wrong.

    Heres the outout I get when I run the script, I tried adding the say but it produced the same results.

    Layer-2 Switch Line has invalid autocommand "show running-config"

    In order for me to execute the show run config I need to get the box into enabled mode. I copied the sequences below from the CLI of me running the commands manually. Hopefully it will help illustrate what I am trying to do.

    Switch-01>enable <--- Log on to box and type enable

    Password: <---prompts for password

    Switch-01#sho run <--- drops into privilege mode where I can run the show run command

    Building configuration...

    also I was able to get rid of the newline character by adding

    chomp ($filename);
