My perl script times out when I try to telnet to another router/switch from a router. I am able to successfully telnet to the first router. I'm able to set the terminal length and width to 0. I'm able to send the command "telnet 10.0.0.1" and see in my dump_log and input_log that the program gets to the next device prompt which is /username: $/. For the life of me, I cannot get Perl to send my username. I've used print commands to no avail. I've used waitfor to specify the username prompt. I've used the prompt command as well but nothing works. I can attach my code but here are the contents of my dump_log and input_log first:

Here is the code I'm using for the telnet and the username/pw input. Again, the problem is that I cannot get Perl to output the username I am giving it.

    $session_parent->cmd("telnet $cienaIP");
    $session_parent->waitfor('/username: $/i');
    $session_parent->print($username);
#       $session_parent->print('username'); I've tried this
#       $session_parent->cmd($username); I've tried this
#       $session_parent->login($username,$password); I've tried this
# I've tried very long regex expressions thinking that maybe I need to
+ match
# the whole expression "Trying x.x.x.x Use configured....username: " o
+utput 
# but that hasn't helped either.
