Thanks, the debug helped. It was missing Term/ReadKey. Now on to the 
next problem

(prompts for password...which it shouldn't do)

To test that the key works, I just tried to ssh to the machine. No 
password requested.

$ ssh statususer at 67.126.xxx.xxx
[statususer at primaryfax statususer]$

So, I am now trying to figure out why perl can't load the public key but 
regular ssh can.

Any thoughts?

runs back to the documentation,
