Hello Monks, I am trying to telnet to a cisco router and try to backup its configuration. The code which I wrote works for all the devices except a single device. But the commands are working fine when I run them manually in the router. I have gone through the code many times and I could not find what is going wrong. My @array which I use to get the command results is returning null value. Please help ASAP as its a bit urgent.

 my $cs = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new (Host =>host,Errmode=> "return");
    $cs->input_log ("/var/log/routers/cisco.$host.backup.input.log");
    if ($type == 0)
      {      
        $cs->login ("$user","$pw");
      }
   my @cmd_output;
    if ($type == 0)
      {
       $cs->cmd ('terminal length 0');
       @cmd_output    = $cs->cmd ('show running-config');
       print "Array value__________________'@cmd_output'\n"; ###Here t
+he value comes as NULL
      }
