in thread Cisco Telnet

Aristotle, I appreciate you help on this and i want to have as clean a script a possible. Here is my latest version: 
use strict;
use Net::Telnet::Cisco;
open my $log, '>', 'logfile' or die "Cannnot open log file : $!\n";
open my $seed, '<', 'seedfile' or die "Cannot open seed file : $!\n";

while(<$seed>) {
    chomp;
    my $Telnet = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $_) or die "Cannot op
+en session to '$seed': $!\n";
    $Telnet->login(Name => 'user', Password => 'pass') or die "Cannot 
+log into device '$_': $!\n";
    print $log "$_\n", map $Telnet->cmd($_), 'show line aux 0';    
}

I get the following error: Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Telnet.pm li ne 2569, <$seed> line 1. Modification of a read-only value attempted at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Telnet/Cisco .pm line 751, <$seed> line 1. I can't seem to figure out where Perl thinks i am trying to modify the varible from the filehandle.

    I'm basically fishing in the dark here, but maybe the following will work. Note how it's not passing a literal constant to ->cmd() anymore, it passes the (modifiable) elements of an array. It's the only spot I can think of; if that's not it, you probably have to contact the module author. 
    use strict;
use Net::Telnet::Cisco;

open my $log, '>', 'logfile'
    or die "Cannnot open log file : $!\n";
open my $seed, '<', 'seedfile'
    or die "Cannot open seed file : $!\n";

my @commands =('show line aux 0');

while(<$seed>) {
    chomp;
    my $Telnet = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $_)
        or die "Cannot open session to '$_': $!\n";
    $Telnet->login(Name => 'user', Password => 'pass')
        or die "Cannot log into device '$_': $!\n";
    print $log "$_\n", $Telnet->cmd($_), @commands;    
}
