I don't understand the Net::Telnet error

[grocery_stocker]

When I run the following on Linux Fedora Core 6

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;

{
my ($pty, $ssh, @lines);
my $host = "arbornet.org";
my $user = "cd";
my $password = "testme";
my $prompt = "/changeme:~> $/";
## Start ssh program.
$pty = &spawn("ssh", "-l", $user, $host); # spawn() defined below
## Create a Net::Telnet object to perform I/O on ssh's tty.
use Net::Telnet;
$ssh = new Net::Telnet (-fhopen => $pty,
-prompt => $prompt,
-telnetmode => 0,
-cmd_remove_mode => 1);

## Login to remote host.
#$ssh->open($host);
#$ssh->login($user, $pass);
$ssh->waitfor(-match => '/password: ?$/i', -errmode => "return")
or die "problem connecting to host: ", $ssh->lastline;
$ssh->print($password);
$ssh->waitfor(-match => $ssh->prompt, -errmode => "return")
or die "login failed: ", $ssh->lastline;

## Send command, get and print its output.
@lines = $ssh->cmd("who");
print @lines;

exit;
} # end main program

sub spawn {
my(@cmd) = @_;
my($pid, $pty, $tty, $tty_fd);

## Create a new pseudo terminal.
use IO:ty ();
$pty = new IO:ty or die $!;

## Execute the program in another process.
unless ($pid = fork) { # child process
die "problem spawning program: $!\n" unless defined $pid;

## Disassociate process from existing controlling terminal.
use POSIX ();
POSIX::setsid
or die "setsid failed: $!";

## Associate process with a new controlling
terminal.
$tty = $pty->slave;
$tty_fd = $tty->fileno;
close $pty;

## Make stdio use the new controlling terminal.
open STDIN, "<&$tty_fd" or die $!;
open STDOUT, ">&$tty_fd" or die $!;
open STDERR, ">&STDOUT" or die $!;
close $tty;

## Execute requested program.
exec @cmd
or die "problem executing $cmd[0]\n";
} # end child process
$pty;
} # end sub spawn


I get the following error message......
[cdalten@localhost ~]$ ./bot2.pl
Uncaught exception from user code:
problem connecting to host: Welcome to FreeBSD!
at ./bot2.pl line 24
[cdalten@localhost ~]$


The "Welcome to FreeBSD!" is part of the message on the remote server.
However, netstat shows that I'm conneced.

tcp 0 0 66.81.68.80:53169
69.39.89.95:22 ESTABLISHED


What is causing this error message and more to the point. How come the
"who" command doesn't get executed.

What is causing this error message and more to the point. How come the
"who" command doesn't get executed.

Looks like there was a generic error message:

...waitfor(-match => '/password: ?$/i',
-errmode => "return")
or die "problem connecting to host: "

You can add errmsg() for additional detail:

or die "problem connecting to host: ",
$ssh->errmsg;

If the message is a 'pattern match timeout' for
instance, you may want to set Dump_Log and/or
Input_Log to see what's being sent from the
server.

I added errmsg() and when I ran the code, got the following

[cdalten@localhost ~]$ ./bot2.pl

I'm not seeing the possible error here
