I am trying to reboot a Cisco device using net::appliance::session library. But even the code doesn't give en error the device doesn't reboot. This is the two lines I am using: 
$session->cmd(String => 'Reload',Match => ['/Proceed/'], ); 
$session->cmd(String => "\n", Match => ['//'],);

In the Cisco shell a reload command is given like this: 
test#reload 
Proceed with reload? [confirm] 
Connection closed by foreign host.

This thread in the cpan forum also tells me to do this way. I think there is a problem with carriage returns and confirm dialogs. Because when I try to create a directory it works fine: 
$session->cmd(String => 'mkdir',Match => ['/Create dire.*/'] ); 
$session->cmd(String => 'test',Match => ['//'] );

The equivelant of this in Cisco shell: 
test#mkdir 
Create directory filename []? test 
Created dir flash:test

But when I try to delete this directory which needs a carriage return as confirmation the scripts fails again. 
$session->cmd(String => 'rmdir asd',Match => ['/Remove directory.*/'])
+;
$session->cmd(String => '\n' ,Match => ['/Delete flash.*/'] );
$session->cmd(String => '\n');

The equivelant in Cisco is this: 
test#rmdir test 
Remove directory filename [test]? 
Delete flash:test? [confirm] 
Removed dir flash:test

So I think the problem isn't with reload command. But the problem is sending carriage returns as confirmation. I have tried \n \r \n\r \r\n and empty string but they didn't work. Any ideas?
