one very interesting discovery. If the command fails, it returns! It 
would appear it hangs only when the command succeeds. If I mangle the 
path to the ls command, ssh returns with file not found.

good idea, however same results, at least from my Windows machine.
The command-line perl works fine from my OSX machine.

The machine I'm ssh'ing from is a new Dell PWS 650, Windows XP Pro, 
Version 2002, Service Pack 2. (the sp2 firewall is disabled) I've 
installed the latest Cygwin env.

The remote machines are not quite as new with regard to hardware, 
they are however, running the same OS and cygwin.

Perl is 5.8.0.810
OpenSSH is OpenSSH_3.9p1
