Oh wise ones, I can't paste any code as it's work related, but here is my issue. I have written a simple webpage using perl.
What the page does is I paste xml data into a textbox, then using Net::Telnet I'm trying to establish a connection with another server and paste the xml data as the argument.
Now the page 'hangs' and times out. The timeout line is: $session->getline.
When I run the same code from the command prompt, it works flawlessly and I get my output from the session, but not when I run it within my webpage code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The process flow is as follows:
Paste xml data to textbox.
Pass xml data to telnet session, wait for output string.
The telnet session is simple as I have a process listening on a port on another server. As soon as the process receives the xml data, it returns a string.
Thanks, desperate
