and what about your sshd- can you read the log files to see why it's refusing the connection.
Looks like Net::SSH::Perl isn't trying to use the key-based authentication, so the "permission denied" message is indeed about the login attempt, as I was thinking.
Here's what syslog on the remote host has to say...
Oct 31 15:59:18 domains sshd2[4887]: connection from "128.103.208.100"
Oct 31 15:59:19 domains sshd2[15657]: Wrong password given for user 'executive'.
