in reply to Opening a file to read during telnet in perl

Where do you expect your file to be? Your statement 

open(F2, "$req_apks") or die "Cannot open APK Filelist file $req_apks:
+$!";

tries to open a file on the local, not the remote machine.

      how do i open a remote file from telnet session?

      At first I thought, "you can't". But then I realised: Just the same as on your local host. That means, if you want perl to open your file, you will have to start a perl programme-or-script through your telnet session remotely.

      This is a correct answer to your question, but I guess it isn't what you wanted? If you mean to open a remote file and process it locally, then telnet is just the wrong protocol*

      Interactive terminal sessions and file transfer are different things. There tend to be protocols like ssh/scp/sftp or in the olden days telnet/ftp to address either issue.

      * telnet is the wrong protocol in most situations. Unless it is the early 1990es again. Or we're stuck in ciscoland.
