Wondering if there is a simple solution to the coding problem I have encountered. I ssh into a box and run a command to show some settings how ever if the amount of data returned is larger than the screen window you have to hit a key to continue. Is there a way to simulate hitting a key to continue printing the output to a file? ssh -l admin xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx admin's password: xxxxx 

#!/bin/perl
use Net::SSH::Expect;
        my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new (
            host => $host, 
            password=> $pass, 
            user => $user, 
            raw_pty => 1,
            timeout => 3
        );

        my $login_output = $ssh->login();
        if ($login_output !~ />/) {
            die "Login has failed. Login output was $login_output";
        }

        my $who = $ssh->send("show config\n");

 while ( defined ($line = $ssh->read_line()) ) 
     {
     print $line . "\n";        
    }

    
close $line;
$ssh->close();
