I think we can assume you are using a windows os from c:/Perl/lib I assume that you are then using ActivePerl. You need to install the Net::Telnet module which can be found here if you are using ActivePerl 5.6 or here if you are using ActivePerl 5.8 ----- Of all the things I've lost in my life, its my mind I miss the most.

Quick, travel back in time to 2003 :) The Delorean is at the shop? Awww :) The current perl version is 5.16, 5.6 is so twelve years ago, it is completely unsupported You can see here, http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Net-Telnet/ But you can still install modules yourself, see A Guide To Installing Modules Although, I hear ActiveState has paid support , it might offer it for 5.6 , but it doesn't look like it	[reply]

Use the PPM GUI included with your ActivePerl 5.6. Through the PPM GUI they are free. Through the website they are paid.	[reply]

Your script is trying to use a module that you don't have! If you look at the lib directory where Perl is installed, you should see a list of folders. One of these is 'Net' and the Telnet module should be located in there. I'd suggest you visit CPAN to download. elbow	[reply]

3 tips: 1. Register with perlmonks.org, so you can find your posts back 2. Tell us what OS you use 3. Did you try to install the Net::Telnet module?	[reply]

If you use the perl downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/, try the shell-program ppm to try to install precompiled packages, e.g. I:\>ppm PPM interactive shell (2.1.6) - type 'help' for available commands. PPM> help Commands: exit - leave the program. help [command] - prints this screen, or help on 'command'. install PACKAGES - installs specified PACKAGES. quit - leave the program. query [options] - query information about installed packages. remove PACKAGES - removes the specified PACKAGES from the system search [options] - search information about available packages. set [options] - set/display current options. verify [options] - verifies current install is up to date. version - displays PPM version number PPM> search Net::Telnet Packages available from http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserve +r.pl?urn:/ PPMServer: Net-Telnet [3.03] Interact with TELNET port or other TCP por +ts Net-Telnet-Cisco [1.10] automate Cisco management Net-Telnet-Netscreen [1.01] interact with a Netscreen firewall [download] and if Net::Telnet is found (as above), download and install it by `PPM> install Net-Telnet` [download] see also: http://perlmonks.thepen.com/147012.html if not, then go and try http://www.cpan.org/, e.g by typing into shell `perl -MCPAN -e shell` [download] and answer all the questions (if you don't know just press enter, only entering a http_proxy and ftp_proxy is important if you use any). Then enter help to get some help Best regards, perl -e "s>>F>e=>y)\martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"	[reply] [d/l] [select]

How can i test the installation? I can't use the script that failed earlier when I received the error message telling me that I didn't have the net-telnet...	[reply]

If you can't use the other script (why not?), then write a new one and run it. Running 'perldoc Net::Telnet' will tell you if it's installed. Then you can also read the documentation to help you write your new script.	[reply]
