on the server I assume?  Why do I need to do that when I can log in by
hand?  Is logging in by hand not PasswordAuthentication?

I have those already... as well as Math::BigInt and IO::Handle - any
other suggestions as to it being very slow and cpu intensive (in the
script only, not by hand)?

thanks for the tips,

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.
