    It does not mean that you can use search -- this question is asked and
    answered quite often here. Should we add it to FAQ?

    Ok, using public/private key pair is the preferred solution.
    BTW: What prevents you from creating .ssh/authorized_keys?

    http://search.cpan.org/~ivan/Net-SSH-0.08/SSH.pm:
    Q: How do you supply a password to connect with ssh within a perl
       script using the Net::SSH module?
    A: You don't. Use RSA or DSA keys. See the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.

    But ``Net::SSH::Perl enables you to simply and securely execute
    commands on remote machines, and receive the STDOUT, STDERR, and exit
    status of that remote command. It contains built-in support for
    various methods of authenticating with the server (password
    authentication, RSA challenge-response authentication, etc.).''

    You can also use `expect' for this.
