Having difficult time getting a response from my perl script when using Net::Telnet. The server is not actually a telnet server, but responses to print command from perl. I do get all the correct responses in the "recieved_data.txt" file, but need the returned value. 

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use Net::Telnet ();

$host='192.168.1.181';

{$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,Input_log => "received_data.txt" 
+,
                      Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
$t->open($host);
$t->print("AT");  #this is just used to make sure it connects##
$t->waitfor('/AT/');  #this is just an echo back of what is sent##
$t->waitfor('/OK/i');  #send this to say I'm ready##
}

{$t->print("AT%23=1234");  #This basically the password to the system#
+#
$t->waitfor('/AT%23=1234/i');  #Echo back##
$t->waitfor('/OK/i');
}
{
$oid = $t->print("AT1122");  #This is the command to see the state##
$oid = $t->waitfor('/AT1122/i');  #Echo back##
$oid = $t->waitfor('//');  #this could be 0,1,2...need to converto oid
+###
                           #Need this value to check state in SNMP##
$t->waitfor('/OK/i');  
}
$t->close();
