Sorry, I know this module only from its doc and source, because we don't have that much Ciscos.

The message "bad named parameter" isn't there, but in Net::Telnet. Obviously, Net::Telnet::Cisco->new gives all its input parameters to Net::Telnet->new without cleaning out its own extensions.
Perhaps the error checking in Net::Telnet->new was put in later...

Anyway, if you leave it out, and put instead 
$cs->send_wakeup('connect');
$cs->login(...);

at least this doesn't give the error message.

Update: tried it at work (no Cisco at home :-)), our cisco doesn't need send_wakeup, but works also with it. I tested using the following code

use Net::Telnet::Cisco;
my ($host, $user, $pass) = qw(10.10.1.1 user pass);

my $cs = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(
    Host => $host, 
    Dump_Log => 'cisco.log',
    Prompt => '/(?m:^\W?[\w\/\d.:-]+[>#])/',
    );
$cs->send_wakeup('connect');
$cs->login( $user, $pass );

my @cmd_output = $cs->cmd( 'show ver | inc Configuration' );
print @cmd_output;
$cs->close;
