ssh command not running perl script

I have following perl script 

#!/usr/bin/perl
$userinput =  <STDIN>;
chomp ($userinput);
while ( $userinput ne "DONE")
{
        print STDOUT "User typed ----->  $userinput\n";
        $userinput =  <STDIN>;
        chomp ($userinput);
}

I have copied this on on unix box, locally this works fine but when I try to run this perl script remotely from another box using ssh, it does not work.

I am running this script using following command.

ssh username@hostname /tmp/testremote.pl

It just hangs on the STDIN and does not return anything.

Any idea why this is not working?

your terminal's STDIN is probably not being redirected correctly to the remote terminal.

You can try:

ssh username@hostname 'echo bla bla bla | /tmp/testremote.pl'

And if this works it will indicate that the perl script is fine, but the problem is your redirection.

Try adding $|=1; after the #! line.

ssh username@hostname '/tmp/testremote.pl'

Please try to add single quote to your command.
