If you can login by hand using a password then you don't need to worry about
your sshd_config. That's not the problem.

When you installed, did you make sure you had all of the crypt modules
installed without errors? If you don't have the proper crypt module
installed your script will not authenticate properly with the server and
will chew up a lot of cpu trying. 

You may also want to try Net::SSH2 which is supposed to be much faster than
Net::SSH::Perl.
