Any suggestions on how I would complete the above would be greatly appreciated?

Do some research perhaps? Hire someone to do it for you? Hope someone does it for you based on the above spec? This sort of thing is a very commonly (solved) problem so why don't you have a look at Super Search for terms like 'SSH' or 'remote exec' where you will find gems like Moving around with password protected machines amongst many others. On the module front look at Net::SSH and all its friends. There is also Expect but you probably won't need it.

There is nothing you can do to make normal Telnet secure, that is why SSH exists. Login is plaintext. There are 'secure' telnet servers that use Kerebos but why would you not use SSH? You can't 'encrypt' with MD5 it is a non reversible hashing algorithm. SSH uses RSA.
