Thanks for the input...but, I am not able to get the script to run properly I got this far:

use strict;
use Net::Telnet::Cisco;

open my $log, '>', 'logfilepath' or die "Cannnot open log file : $!\n"
+;

open my $seed, '+<', 'seedfilepath' or die "Cannot open file : $!\n";

while($seed) {
    chomp $seed;
    my $Telnet = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $_ or die "Cannot ope
+n session to '$seed': $!\n");
    $Telnet->login(Name => 'rschuman', Password => 'tagheuer1') or die
+ "Cannot log into device '$_': $!\n";
    print $log "$_\n", map $Telnet->cmd($_), 'show line aux 0';    
}

I get the following error: Useless use of a constant in void context at C:\Documents and Settings\rschuman\ Desktop\telnet2.pl line 24. Cannot open session to 'GLOB(0x1abf15c)': I also realized that the original script's output was to much so i added a grep of the output:

use strict;
use Net::Telnet::Cisco;
#
open (LOGFILE, '>logfilepath') or die "Cannnot open log file : $!\n";
#
open (SEEDFILE, 'seedfilepath') or die "Cannot open file : $!\n";

my @iplist = <SEEDFILE>;
foreach my $ip (@iplist) {
    select LOGFILE;
    print "$ip\n";
    my $Telnet = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $ip) or die "Cannot o
+pen session to '$ip': $!\n";
    $Telnet->login(Name => 'user', Password => 'pass') or die "Cannot 
+log into device '$ip': $!\n";
    my $output = $Telnet->cmd('show line aux 0');
    my $matchlines = grep (/Modem hardware state:/,  $output);
    print "$matchlines\n";
}

close LOGFILE;
close SEEDFILE;

I also get the following error even though the script does run: Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Telnet.pm li ne 2569, <SEEDFILE> line 3.

In the first script you forgot to actually use the filehandle to read from it: it must be while(<$seed>) - note the angle brackets. Also, you misplaced a paren two lines later - it must be

my $Telnet = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $_)
    or die "Cannot open session to '$seed': $!\n";

Your print statements are a little odd (I'm not even sure why it works that way), and would be more readable if you just did:

print LOGFILE $stuff_to_print."\n";
