Is this where we are to guess how you will do it?  I'd hate to spoil it for
everyone else. ;^)  Seriously, there are examples of that recently in this list.
Search the archives.

You won't. You will use ssh to do that, either the command-line client 
or one of its Perl cousins, Net::SSH or Net::SSH::Perl. And you will set 
up authentication using private and public keys as it was meant for ssh. 
And you will not store passwords in plaintext somewhere in your scripts.
