Hi, I am Shivageeta S. Choodi, working for Novell, Bangalore in system testing group.
I have used Perl for the test automation. I am facing a problem in telnet module of Perl. The problem details are as follows and the script (around 10 lines) is also attached.
___________________________________________________________
Problem description:
Test machine: Running the script from a SLES 8 machine
The script : is attached. It does telnet to a machine (hard coded in the script), and a create a file /my-Perl after the successful telnet.
Problem: If the host specified in the script is SUSE/SLES machine, the script hangs. But the same script works fine if I change the host to some other Unix/Linux hosts for example RH Linux/Solaris. I am also able to manually telnet to the SUSE/SLES boxes (for which the script is hanging during the telnet operation).
Perl telnet module: Net-Telnet-3.03
___________________________________________________________
The Code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
#use Time::Format;
BEGIN
{
push(@INC,'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/URI/');
}
require "Telnet.pm";

#Initialise telnet
$telnet = new Net::Telnet->new( Timeout=>20,Prompt => '/[\$%#>] $/');
die &Log_Message("Can't open telnet session to the remote host") unles
+s $telnet;

#Telnet and login to a remote machine
$telnet->open("systst-lnx-15");
$telnet->login("root","novell");
print "Logged into the system \n";

#After a successful telnet create the file /my-perl at the remote host
+.
$telnet->cmd("touch /my-perl");

$telnet->close;

Can you please let me know is there any problem with the perl telnet module which have installed?
I request you to help me in solving this problem (i.e. the script should be able successfully telnet to a SUSE/SLES machine and create a file).

With Regards,
Shivageeta
