Net:SSH::Perl oddity when logging in to SSH V2 Server

here is the deal. if I am connecting to a server which only supports V1

of SSH the connect time is 1-2 seconds, but if I connect to a remote
server that requires V2 then the connect time is


here are the respctive calls and the parameters I am using.


%params= (
'protocol' => "1,2",
'compression' => "on"
);


$ses = Net::SSH::Perl->new($host,%params) # takes less than a second


$ses->login($hostArr{$host}{"USER"},$hostArr{$host}{"PASS"}) # takes
about 240 second


Timings look like this:
BEGIN Processing dfsdb03 1137175894
BEGIN Got Session Handle Processing dfsdb03 1137175895
BEGIN Logged into Session Processing dfsdb03 1137176157


The numbers at the end are the output from time which is in seconds.


here is the output I get from the debug option:
