I am trying to access multiple clients with my script using Net::Telent. I want to search a bunch of files and look for a specific string. My problem is Net::Telent is returning the error  timed-out waiting for command prompt at findHost.pl line 25 That is the line where I try to login. When I use telnet manually I can get into the machines, I also am pretty sure I have the regexp for the Prompt variable correct. If anyone can provide a little wisdom into my problem I would be grateful. here is the code in question... 
 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 

use strict;
use Net::Telnet ();
 
#get the contents of the array from mike.
 
my (@files, $t, @hosts, $result,$cpu);
$hosts[0]="aster";
$hosts[1]="candytuft";
 
my $username="user";
my $password="pass";
 
foreach $cpu (@hosts) {
        #use the net telnet module here.
        $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => '30',
                                Prompt => '/[%#>] $/',
                                host=>$cpu);
 
print " $cpu \n";
        $t->login($username, $password);
 
        $t->cmd("cd /usr/openv");
        print $t->cmd("usr/bin/ls");
        @files = $t->cmd("find . -type f -print | xargs grep \"domain.
+com\" /dev/null");
        print "-------------\n";
        print "Results for $cpu\n";
        print "-------------\n";
        my $loc;
        foreach $loc (@files) {
                print "-- $loc\n";
        }
        my $tmp = $t->dump_log();
        print "This is the dump_log \n$tmp \n";
        print "\n\n";
}
