Hi ALL

I am facing a problem with the NET::TELNET module. I am telnetting to a linux box and there I am trying to run perl script which actually is a expect script. So now the problem is that when the perl expect script is running remotely I am supposed to execute a command and wait for its completion and then execute the next command when I get the prompt. The problem is that I am not able to get the complete command execution and hence the next prompt. I wonder what the problem is, is it like the telnet window is smaller or the output buffer allocated to the telnet session through the perl module is small. Can anyone explain. I have copied some part of the code I hope it helps you.

windows pc telnet code 

 $telnet_box->open("$host") || 
        die "Failed to connect to $host $!";
    $telnet_box->login($user_name, $password) ||
        die "Failed to log onto $host. The username or password is wro
+ng$!";   
@$lines = $telnet_box->cmd("perl expect_execute.pl");

Linux box expect script code: 
$exp_inst->log_file("$templog", "w");
        $exp_inst->expect($timeout,
            [ '-re' , $prompt, 
                sub {
                    my $fh = shift;
                    $fh->send("$command\n");
                }
            ],
            [ timeout => 
                sub {
                    my_die "unable to get the prompt $prompt";
                }
            ]
        );
