Sometime in February Ryan W. Frenz assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| yeah, same problem -- ssh just isn't waiting for my password.  I get a 
| prompt for password then 'permission denied' three times and it exits.
| 
| >my $prog    = $ARGV[0];
| >my $machine = $ARGV[1];
| >my $label   = $ARGV[2];
| >my $cmd     = "ssh user\@$machine  $prog";
| ># or
| >   $cmd     = "ssh $machine  $prog";
| >
| >   system($cmd);
| >
| >   exit 0;

that's strange the stuff above works for me. granted i'm just running 'ls'.
it ssh's fine, asks for a password, and executes the ls command. silly
question, but are you sure you have the correct password :).

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
