[wplug] perl help

[Ryan W. Frenz]

Sorry if this is an easy question -- I'm relatively new to perl.  I'm 
trying to launch ssh from a perl script.  I can launch it fine, but I 
need the user to be able to enter password when ssh prompts for it.  
Right now, I'm just getting the prompt for password but then "permission 
denied" instantly.  I guess I need perl to allow the user to enter the 
password, then regain control after that.  Any ideas?  I hope the 
question made sense.  I've attached the script...

Thanks,
Ryan

# ! perl

$prog = $ARGV[0]
$machine = $ARGV[1];
$label = $ARGV[2];

`ssh $machine $prog`

open(FD, ">>file");
print FD "ssh $machine $prog";
