On the Windows machine you will have to generate from your key two files, one for the private key and the other for the public key, both in OpenSSH format.

Then from your Perl script, call Net::SSH2::auth_publickey method, passing the names of these files.

And BTW, this is how OpenSSH private and public keys look like:
