What I am try to do is open a telnet connection to a telnet server. As soon as the client connects to the server I just send and endless loop banner back to the telnet client
to keep the connection open and active. Now I want to keep this connection open and iterate
thru the IP addresses of a classB net. ie;64k

My thought was "see example below" was to take the var $t =Net:: etc Was on the next iteration change $t to $t2 then $t3 etc hence making many open telnet connections with data streaming back to them. I am having major brain farts here. Maybe there is a better way?
and how to increment a var before it gets assigned by... 

$t = Net::Telnet->new(Timeout => 10, Port => 23,Prompt => '/.*\>/');

so that on the next iteration we get.... 
$t2 = Net::Telnet->new(Timeout => 10, Port => 23,Prompt => '/.*\>/');

Example code: 
use Net::Telnet;
use Getopt::Long;


getOpts ();
create_streams ();

if (defined($duration)) {sleep $duration;}
if (!defined($duration)) {sleep 3600;}# default to an hours run time

sub create_streams {

$ip1 = 192.168;
$ip3 = 1;
$ip4 = 1;      
   
      LOOP:      
      if ($ip4 == 254) {
         $ip3++;
         $ip4 = 1;
         }
            $t = Net::Telnet->new(Timeout => 10, Port => 23,Prompt => 
+'/.*\>/');
            $t->timeout;
            $t->open(Host => "$ip.$ip3.$ip4", Errmode => "return", Tim
+eout => 1);
           
           if ($ip3 == 254) {goto NEXT;}
           $ip4++;

       goto LOOP;
       NEXT:

}
