Hi , I am required to execute a command from my windows machine on to a Linux machine. Currently I am using Net::Telnet package for that. <pr> Now that I want to check the status of that command on my Windows machine. Is there some way where in I can return a magic string to my windows machine on the basis of value of $? variable on Linux machine. I am attaching my code here. 

$username="imail1";
$passwd="imail1";
use Net::Telnet ();
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10);
$t->open("172.16.14.74");
$t->print($username);
$t->print($passwd);
sleep(5);
open(FHH, ">output.txt");
print FHH $t->cmd("cp opwv/config/config.db ./");

$flag=1;
close(FHH);

open(FH,"<output.txt");
 while(<FH>)
 {
    if($_ =~ "ERROR"){
        $flag = 0;
    }    
}


if ($flag == 0) {
      print "Fail";
}
else {
    print "Pass";
}    

close(FH);
unlink("output.txt");

Please let me know whether I can modify the same code or I need to use some totally different module than Net::Telnet..
Prompt reply would be appreciated.. :)
