Sending commands to new shell in Perl
 

I am trying to do the following in a Perl script:

ssh to a remote machine
once on the machine, switch to tcsh
once in tcsh, execute commands

I am a relative novice at Perl and would appreciate any help or
suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the Expect module on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/).
Also, using one of the many search engines first & frequently, probably
will save you a lot of time in the future.

Once you have read the documentation and tried to use it, then you can
post specific questions about your code.

No need to state the obvious. :-)

Take a look at the Net::SSH::Perl module on cpan.org

What's the reliance on tcsh? Without knowing your requirements, it maybe a
simple as doing:

ssh user@remote command

Either invoked via system, or using one of the Perl SSH modules.
