Cool suggestion! I looked in the .profile (and .login) and saw the tset and stty commands as expected.

I dug around and found another HPUX box to test on. This one worked. Adding a print $t->cmd('uname -a'); to my snippet above gets me:

... login garbage ...
.^[ i^M     ^M.^[[ci^M     ^M.^[*s1^^Qi^M     ^M$
HP-UX --- B.11.00 U 9000/785 (tc)

I see similar control sequences, but this one ends in the expected prompt, '$'.

So I changed the prompt string to '/(?:TERM = \(hp\)|[:%\$#])\s?$/' and it's working on the first server now.

I need to figure out why under Net::Telnet's connection, the prompt is not being set properly. From /usr/bin/telnet I see '$' on both servers.

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.
