Monks, I just installed sudo on the unix machine where I can successfully use the "su" command and become some other user. Now when I run this script, it is not giving me any meaningful information, always returns the information as described below. Any thoughts on this : 
use Sudo;

my $password = '*****';
my $su = Sudo->new(
                {
                        sudo => '/usr/bin/su',
                        username => "*****" ,
                        password => $password,
                        program => "/tmp/test.sh" ,
                        program_args => ''
                }
                );

$result = $su->sudo_run();
print "$result \n";
if (exists($result->{error}) )
{
        &handle_error($result);
}
else
{
        printf "STDOUT: %s\n",$result->{stdout};
        printf "STDERR: %s\n",$result->{stderr};
        printf "return: %s\n",$result->{rc};
}

OUTPUT is always this : 
HASH(0x14a4e0)
STDOUT:
STDERR:
return:
