Hi,

I have a requirement where i need to login to a remote
server and then su to another user for executing commands.
The problem that i am facing is that i am not able to find
how to pass the password for the su command after i login
into the remote system. 

My code looks like this?

<code>

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

my ($host,$user,$pass);


	( $host, $user, $pass ) = ('hostname', 'username', 'passwd'
);
	my $conn = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host,"protocol
2,1");
	$conn->login($user,$pass);
	my ( $out,$err,$exit) = $conn->cmd('su - username
"ls -l" ','password');
	print " --------  $host  -----------n";
	if ( $exit == 0 ) 
	{	print $out."n"; }
	else 
	{	print $err."n"; }

 
</code>
any pointers on where i going wrong?

I know that password cannot be passed as stdin to su. Any 
other ideas or suggestion are highly welcome.

Thanking you.
