Net::Openssh not fetching data

[Rajeev Prasad]

 
the following is _i think_ timing out. when it is run from within my script 
 
 
( @cmdresult, $cmderr ) = $ssh->capture($CMD);
 
 
where $CMD is:   egrep "data_to_grep" *.data_file.txt
 
the output is about 300Mb of data.
 
further, the command when run on the remote system directly (after logging in), 
takes only about 30 seconds.
 
also, when we run from my localhost (bash shell) ssh "$CMD" > local.file.save 
it completes within 2 minutes...
 
please advice.
 
ty.
