Hello Monks,
I am connecting to the remote server using Telnet module and want to grep the content of file in particular directory.But it is giving an error,See the code below, 
$checkfile = "back-20.bak";
$direcory ="/sapp/backup";    
$contcheck = "Backup taken for this file";
$telnet->cmd("opendir dhandle,$directory");
@dots = $telnet->cmd("grep { /^$checkfile/ } readdir(dhandle)");
    print"Files=> @dots\n";
    foreach $filename (@dots) {
        chomp($filename);
        @filecont = $telnet->cmd("grep -i $contcheck");
        foreach $line (@filecont) {
            if($line =~ /$contcheck/){
                $status = 'FAIL';
            }else{
                $status ='PASS';
            }
        }

    }

For the above code,if back-20.bak file is availabe in the remote machine in the location /sapp/backup and if the content of the file is having data like "Backup taken for this file" I have to assign status as pass or if the content is not available in that file status is assigned to fail.
Monks let me know where I am doing wrong?
I am getting the output as,
Files=> ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
Thanks.
