Fellow Monks,
I want to connect remote server using Telnet module and find the hostname and print the host name.But the code is not working for me.It is giving the ouput as 1,since the command is executed successfully.But I want the host name as output.See the code below, 
Use Net::TelNet;
$telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>3600,Prompt => "/$prompt/i",Errmo
+de=>'die');
    $telnet->open("susan");
    $telnet->waitfor('/login: $/i');
    $telnet->print('blab');
    $telnet->waitfor('/password: $/i');
    $telnet->print('blab');
    $telnet->waitfor("/$prompt/i");
    print $telnet->cmd("hostname");
        $hostname = $telnet->cmd("hostname");
    print"Host => $hostname\n";

My Expected Output :- 
Host => osmosun.wmjapan(i.e hostname)
Current outuput => 1

Pls let me know how to get the value of the command to one variable.
Thanks.
