I had a script like below 

SSHOpen("10.4.5.6", "admin");


sub SSHOpen
{
    my $ip_address = shift @_;
    my $ssh_login = shift @_;

    print STDERR "Opening SSH Connection to $ip_address (as $ssh_login
+)\n";

    my $ssh_reader = new FileHandle;
    my $ssh_writer = new FileHandle;

    my $cmd;

    if (defined($ssh_login) && $ssh_login ne "") {
        $cmd = "ssh -l $ssh_login -o 'Batchmode yes' $ip_address 2>&1"
+;
    } else {
        $cmd = "ssh -o 'Batchmode yes' $ip_address 2>&1";
    }

    print STDERR "\tRunning <$cmd>\n";
    my $pid = open2($ssh_reader, $ssh_writer, $cmd);

    if ($pid <= 0) {
        print STDERR "\tSSH could not connect!\n";

        close($ssh_reader) if defined($ssh_reader);
        close($ssh_writer) if defined($ssh_writer);

        return 1;
    }
    print STDERR "Open 2 Successfull with pid $pid \n";
    $ssh_reader->autoflush();
    $ssh_writer->autoflush();
    print STDERR "SSH Reader and Write Autoflush \n";

    my %ssh = ();

    $ssh{'object_type'} = "SSH";
    $ssh{'reader'} = $ssh_reader;
    $ssh{'writer'} = $ssh_writer;

    # lets test the connection by sending a blank command
        
        
    print STDERR "\tSuccessful End of SSHOpen Funtion\n";
    
    return (0, \%ssh);
}
