My Expect fu is marginal, but in the past when it came up I used 
Expect::Simple.  Also I've recently had success with using 
Net::SFTP::Foreign, Net::OpenSSH, and IPC::Open3::Simple.  For a 
nigh-complete list of IO capturing modules (although it probably isn't 
what you're really looking for), see:

Finally, I ran a quick search and came across this on Perlmonks, 
which might be relevant:

   Module Net::SSH::Expect - Cannot interact
