there's a module called Net::SCP, which does scp in perl.
it says:
Q: How do you supply a password to connect with ssh within a perl
script using the Net::SSH module?
A: You don't. Use RSA or DSA keys. See the ssh-keygen(1) manpage
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Net-SCP/SCP.html
although if you're determined to do it the other way, you could look
at the Expect module: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Expect
