not exactly a perl solution but you can
probably do better with using ssh pubkey
authentication so as to avoid password
prompt.
the idea is to store your private key
on your local server, and store
the private key on the remote server---no
passwords required (and actually safer).
also rsync is another good option (rsync -e ssh)
