try the login command, see the documentation for the module.
Otherwise, if you don't use the shell interactivly, why not use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin and do the full monty directly in perl?
use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin;
#
# assuming all necessary variables have been declared and filled accor
+dingly:
#
my $client = Cyrus::IMAP::Admin->new($host);
my $auth = {
-mechanism => 'login',
-service => 'imap',
-authz => $admin,
-user => $admin,
-minssf => 0,
-maxssf => 10000,
-password => $admin_pass,
};
$client->authenticate( \%$auth);
(print $client->{error} && return(1)) if $client->{error};
# e.g. create a new mailbox:
$client->createmailbox('user.' . $mailuser);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
