To anyone that may have the vast knowledge that I am lacking.

I am creating a socket to connect to a telnet server. The problem is that the server requires a username but not a password.

I cannot find a way to pass the username in a socket connection. I know, I know, Use Net::Telnet. I would but the linux box that I am running off of I do not have access to install modules. I would like to figure out if this is possible or I am forced to find a way to install this to my home directory ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edit:Ended up using the Net::Telnet module installed to my home dir on the linux box.

Side note: ended up changing usernames that I was using as it is much easier to use Net::Telnet if you have a user that also has a password.
