I don't quite see what your overall question is, but to answer some of the bits:

No theres no Net::Telnet::Callbacks that I know of, and I really wouldn't recommend Net::Telnet for anything than talking to real telnet servers (maybe I'm biased tho, I don't like it..) Although, telnet has options, and Net::Telnet does event stuff based on those, I think.

Sockets would be a good idea, you could write that easy to do callbacks.

Threads are a bit of a pain together with Sockets etc. (In my experience), I've a fairly complicated telnet/mud client using 5.005 threads, which is complicated enough, but still not managed to convert to ithreads, which are more difficult to use (and dont allow sharing of objects) ..

Theres some IO::Socket stuff on castaway's scratchpad if you need a starter on that (the im2 script).

(No experience with/knowledge of IPC::SysV, and no idea why you shouldn't use Sockets :)

I can give you a link to my (rather bulky and also flaky), telnet client with modules, events and all sorts of junk, if you'd like :)
