    Looking from the documentation for Net::Telnet, you can't use fhopen to open a file. You need to have the file open prior to using fhopen. 

    fhopen - use already open filehandle for I/O 

    $ok = $obj->fhopen($fh);


This method associates the open filehandle $fh with $obj for further I
+/O. Filehandle $fh must already be opened. 
Suppose you want to use the features of this module to do I/O to somet
+hing other than a TCP port, for example STDIN or a filehandle opened 
+to read from a process. Instead of opening the object for I/O to a TC
+P port by using open() or new(), call this method instead.

      Hi thanks for your reply.
      I dun quite understand what the documentation meant by the filehandle must already be opened for I/O. Is this done at the server or the client side??
      Thanks !!!
