it was Net::SSH::Perl's fault ;) the documentation implies that
if your RSA identity is all set up (i can ssh to juniper w/o passwords)
then $ssh->login() will do the trick. it doesn't. you have to
give $ssh->login('username','afakepassword').
even though 'username' isn't my username and 'afakepassword' isn't
the password for anything, it makes Net::SSH::Perl complete the
RSA authentication process.
i just hacked Net::SSH::Perl to use the users username and a non-null
password unless they are explicitly set. this allows $ssh->login() to
work as documented.
