Sorry for this question, but did you already install Net::Telnet? Without installing it, it won't work. If you tell us which Unix/Linux you are trying to execute this on, then we could help you with the command for installing this module. Do you have root privileges on this machine?

Assuming you have root privileges the following command will probably work (untested): `sudo apt-get install libnet-telnet-perl` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

`Can't locate Module/Name.pm in @INC` This would always mean that the module is not installed on your machine	[reply] [d/l]

always mean that the module is not installed on your machine ...in case there's only a single perl installation and a single user using it and in short: in case it can be ruled out that the module was installed somewhere outside the current `@INC` paths.
