I'm trying to put together a script that will allow me to connect to a unix system and run a few commands. I am able to use 'exec' without any problems, but when I try to use 'shell' I am prompted to 'Enter user name'. I've searched the site and google and it appears that I'm using 'shell' correctly so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here

here is a copy of the code:

my $host = "host";
my $user = "name";
my $pass = "password";
my $cmd = "pwd";
my $cmd2 = "who";

my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();

$ssh2->connect($host) or die "Unable to connect $@ $! \n";
$ssh2->auth_password($user, $pass) or die "Unable to login $@ $! \n";

    my $chan = $ssh2->channel();
    $chan->exec($cmd);
    while (<$chan>) {
        chomp;
        print "ONE:  [$_]\n";
    }
    $chan->close;

    my $chan2 = $ssh2->channel();
    $chan2->exec("who");
    while (<$chan2>) {
        chomp;
        print "TWO:  [$_]\n";
    }
    $chan2->close;

    my $chan3 = $ssh2->channel();
    $chan3->shell();
    print $chan3 "pwd\n";
    print "THREE-a: [$_]\n" while <$chan3>;
    print $chan3 "who\n";
    print "THREE-b: [$_]\n" while <$chan3>;
    $chan3->close;

and my output
