I have two seperate chunks of code that work I am just unsure how to use them together...I can use net::telnet to get on the fabric OS (Brocade) and run the command and get the info I want. I can also connect to the database using DBI - what I don't get is how to write the outputted info from the "switchinfo" command to the database? 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use DBI;
use Net::Telnet ();
    $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,);

$user = "admin";
$passwd = "";

$t->open("Sparta");
$t->login($user, $passwd);
    @lines = $t->cmd("switchshow");

# Connect to the database.
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost",
                       "joe", "joe's password",
                       {'RaiseError' => 1});
$dbh->do("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (1, " . $dbh->quote("Tim") . ")");

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
