Hello all

I'm working on a script for work that telnets to a switch, grabs data from a couple of commands, prints to a file, and then gracefully exits. I have hit something of a roadblock however, and would really appreciate the help.

The offending code snippet looks like this: 

@output = $t->cmd("show conduit");
$t->waitfor('/<--- More --->/');
@temp = $t->print(' ');
push(@temp,@output);

I can log in fine, run commands fine, etc. The problem lies in the fact that the command "show conduit" prints data a page at a time, prompting you to hit the space bar for more data. I timeout every time after the first page, regardless of what i do, it seems.

Problem number two, is how to get the data after the first page into the array (once i get it to work)? Would my snippet work to that effect?

I don't have a whole lot of experience with this module, so any help is appreciated.
