We have a need to allow users to submit a job through a web server

Net::SSH::Perl in a CGI program to realize this. One thing I notice
is that the CGI program requires a "/.ssh/known_hosts2" at the top
path of the file system on the front end machine where Apache is
running. I wonder does this potentially compromise any security on the
system? Need expert advice ...
Nothing to do with perl, however, the answer to your question is "No."
For more details, read the documentation for ssh:
man ssh
or discuss in a security/ssh related newsgroup.
Also, the CGI program doesn't require it, SSH is what uses/creates it.
Furthermore, the directory should be under the username running
the Apache process, not under root ( '/' ).
