I am logging in as primUser but unless i change the user to root the script execution on the remote machine is not possible.

Is there a way wherein i can make use of perl script or anything like that and remotely change the user to root?

ssh primUser@135.254.242.2 su -

The above command is giving me a 'su - Sorry' message.

Can anybody help me to change the login to root on remote machine and execute the script poll.sh on it?
Configure the ssh to add the keys for the "root" on the remote server!!! . But remember it is highly risky!!!
