Hello GURU's it has been awhile that I have needed such great direction, but my current issue has me stumped.

I am looking to use Net::SSH::Perl to remote into host and run a wget command to download a package on the remote host in question. I can seem to get all my commands to run on the remote host, but WGET seems to fail: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $host = '192.168.x.x';
my $user = 'user';
my $pw   = 'pass';

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host);
   $ssh->login($user, $pw);

## THIS SECTION FAILS ##
$ssh->cmd("cd /var/tmp");
$ssh->cmd("wget -c -np -r -nH --cut-dirs=1 --reject \"index.html*\" ht
+tp://myURL.com/patch/126546-07/");

If I run the following, it completes as expected:

 $ssh->cmd("cd /var/tmp; hostname > host.dat");

If I try the same with ; seperated WGET calls, nothing seems to happen

 $ssh->cmd("cd /var/tmp; wget -c -np -r -nH --cut-dirs=1 --reject \"index.html*\" http://myURL.com/patch/126546-07/");

The above shows NOTHING in /var/tmp - though I would expect my downloaded DIR to be there.. I have ran the WGET call on host in question to ensure it supports the WGET package and all works well....

Desired output, would be the script changes to the '/var/tmp' DIR on remote host, then completes the package download in /var/tmp so I then can act on the newly downloaded package.
