perl ssh with timeout?

How can I use perl to connect to a remote computer via ssh with a timeout?

I saw the modules Net::SSH and Net::SSH::Perl, but didn't see timeout options. The latter one I wasn't able to install anyway (the required Crypt::DH never finishes its tests in CPAN shell).

Maybe just use the system command? But it also does not have a timeout?

BTW, all computers I want to connect to don't require my password, so getting a connection should be straightforward.

Thanks!
