D'oh! You didn't specify any target device(s) on command-line or at $file{in}.
If you want to try again, use the following syntax:
errdis.pl switch1 switch2 switch3
will query the 3 named (or numbered) switches for port status
errdis.pl
with no arguments will read $file{in} for list of switches to query.
$file{in} would be a text file that looks like this:
switch1
switch2
switch3
ASCII text file
One IP address or DNS name per line
FQDN if targets in different DNS domain
No leading/trailing spaces
No blank lines

Initial working code (started from existing cdp-n.pl).
Posted to PerlMonks.
=head1 ToDos
Prompt for (or accept switches using GetOpt::Long)
(errdis|auto|connected| 10 | 100 ).
Debug non-fatal error only seen on Win32:
Argument "" isn't numeric in number gt (>> at Telnet.pm line 2569, <STDIN> line 1.
Use File::Slurp to append log (avoid race condition).
Use File::Temp instead of multiple temp files.

Problems with either cable plant or NIC drivers intermittantly cause our ethernet switches at one site to protect themselves by 'error disabling' the port connecting the offending device.
Of course, this causes a particular user to lose network connectivity.
Until we can resolve the root problem, the workaround I've arrived at is to periodically check for errdisabled ports and enable them, after which things work fine until the next hiccup.
<p>
This tidbit automates my check for these errdisabled ports.
<p>
From a Pelish standpoint, it checks for Win32 and skips password-timeout code plus which doesn't work on that OS.
