Hi Perl monks
I have a requirement. Need to do telnet to a remote router and execute 2 commands and capture the output. I have written perl code, given below. The issue i am facing is, output is getting captured for first command, but for second command, output is not getting captured. I am providing sample outputs for both the commands (may be it will help is identifying the reason for this issue)

Note - Is this issue because of empty lines in the command 2 output? please suggest

command 1 sample output -

Fri Feb 23 15:10:52.014 IST
R/S/I Modules LED Status
0/RP0/*
host Critical-Alarm Off
host Major-Alarm Off
host Minor-Alarm Off


command 2 sample output -

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:BLR-WFD-MPL-COR-RTR-42-237#show isis neighbors
Fri Feb 23 11:22:50.269 IST

IS-IS IGP neighbors:
System Id Interface SNPA State Holdtime Type IETF-NSF

IS-IS CORE neighbors: System Id Interface SNPA State Holdtime Type IETF-NSF BPL-CPT-MPL-COR-RTR-42-241 BE4 PtoP Up 27 L2 Capable BLR-MPL-LTE-PE-RTR-211 BE8 PtoP Up 26 L2 Capable BLR-MPL-LTE-PE-RTR-211 BE70 PtoP Up 29 L2 Capable BLR-MPL-LTE-PE-RTR-211 BE71 PtoP Up 22 L2 Capable

Perl code - 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Switch;

use Net::Telnet();

my ($host,$hostname,$username, $passwd, $Eleprompt,$t,@output);
$host = q(10.0.0.225);
$username = q(user_name);
$passwd = q(My_Password);
$Eleprompt = q(RP\/0\/RSP0\/CPU0:LCK-MPL-PE-RTR-225\#);
eval
{
    if($t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 20, Prompt => $Eleprompt))
    {
            print "Got the expected prompt for $hostname\n";
    }
    print "connection status = $t\n";
    $t->open($host);
    my $CS = $t->login($username, $passwd);
    print "login status = $CS\n";
    @commandoutput1 = $t->cmd("admin show environment leds");
    print "output is = @commandoutput1 \n";
    @commandoutput2 = $t->cmd("show isis neighbors");
    print "output is = @commandoutput2 \n";
};
if($@)
{
       print "since we got error w.r.t shell prompt for the IP $host, 
+we are proceeding with next device\n - $@";
      next;
}
