in reply to Regular expressions in shell prompts

Yes. Net::Telnet supports regular expressions for detecting the prompt. The example in the SYNOPSIS section already shows how to use a regular expression.

The first step I would do is issue a mandate to change all (login) prompts on all routers to a single, identical scheme so that your script becomes simpler to maintain. That way any prompt that does not fit your scheme becomes the problem of the person buying/installing it and not yours.
