How to create an SSH connection in perl under Windows?

Question

Perl

I've been struggling with perl SSH connection under Windows for a couple of days. Tried Net::W32Perl, Net::SSH2, SFTP, even tried SSH::Any , but in most cases the script complains about getpwuid, which is not implemented by Windows.
Now the script is like this

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::SSH2;
my $host = '255.255.255.255';
my ($user) = 'admin';
my ($pass) = 'admin';
my $ssh = Net::SSH2->new($host, user => $user, password => $pass);
$ssh -> connect ($host);

such a record produces the message odd number of elements in hash assignment.
Any ideas? Except switching to linux of course)
