I am trying to the Net::Telnet::Cisco module to connect to my router. However, I am unable to get it to work. Typically I connect to my router with the following command.

telnet foo 2011
[download]

The console port of the router is connected to a term server. foo is the hostname for the term server and 2011 is the port that is connected to.

Here is some simple code that I can't get to work. What am I doing wrong??

use Net::Telnet::Cisco;

my $session = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => 'foo', 
                                      Port => 2011);

# This is just a simple cmd to see if it ever works
my @output = $session->cmd('sh clock');
print @output;

$session->close;
[download]

I can't believe I am having this much difficultly for something so simple.
