(I think I'm much too grumpy to answer this, but...)

So you want to debug the interactions between your script and your host?   Let's see, bring up the docs for Net::Telnet on, oh, say on search.cpan.org.   Oh, gee, lookee there, it starts out

NAME
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
What To Know Before Using
Debugging
Hmmm, it suggests dumping out the data passed between program and host.   Gosh, you might see something...   Oooo, here's another quote
Use dump_log() to debug when this method keeps timing-out and you don't think it should.
And another 
dump_log - log all I/O in dump format 
    $fh = $obj->dump_log;
    $fh = $obj->dump_log($fh);
    $fh = $obj->dump_log($filename);
  This method starts or stops dump format logging of all
  the object's input and output. The dump format shows
  the blocks read and written in a hexadecimal and
  printable character format. This method is useful when
  debugging, however you might want to first try input_log()
  as it's more readable.
Gawllee, there are nine hits on the word 'debug' in the docs.   One or more might be of help to you.
