Thanks:-)

I forgot to mention that I was using Net::Telnet module. Now the problem is kind of fixed, but some wired problem just remain :-(

I use get to get the content of sub menu, and remove the telnet control sequences, then have the clean and tidy text manipulated.

The problem is that I can not use getline, or getlines, they offer nothing to me. And I can not use waitfor because the last several lines of the control menu are all same, so...

And also, I found that Net::Telnet may have some problem in dealing with TCP packets, sometime it just mis-treat a packet end as a EOF and return the incomplete content to me when there are still some packets to read. The timeout value is enough for it, I am sure.
