Monks
I'm using the expect module to telnet into a remote host and then I want to open and manipulate a file on the remote host.
Here is my code so far.
use strict;
use Expect;
my $session = new Expect;
unless ($session->spawn("telnet $mach_connect")) {
    print "FATAL: could not connect to $tgt_mach\n";
     exit 1;
    }

... login code here to bring the user to the prompt on the remote host

open(FILEHANDLE,"+< $filename");
... work on the file    
close(SNMPFILE);

The problem is that the open works on the local system. How do I open and work on the file that is located remotely?
