There are 2 things that I would recomend trying.  One
of the solutions will solve your problem (99% sure).

1. my($out, $err, $exit) = $ssh->cmd($cmd, [ $stdin ])
ex. my($out, $err, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("ls", "-l")

2. use Encode;

use Encode;
...
Encode::from_to($cmd,'utf8','iso-8859-1');
my($out, $err, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("ls", "-l")
...

Good luck
