Hi Monks, I'm getting the following error from the code that I've posted below. I've included the input below the code. Based upon what the input (dump) shows, I would expect my simple 'ls' command test to be OK. It's not and I'm befuddled. Please suggest what I should try next. Thanks much.

The output/error: 
Connecting to baby ...
timed-out waiting for command prompt at stopserver.pl line 28

The code: 
use Warnings;
use Net::Telnet ();
use Cwd;
$file="inputLog.txt";
$ofile="outputlog.txt";

# build an array of the servers we want to talk to
@hosts = ("scary", "baby", "posh");

foreach $host (sort @hosts)
{
    $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                    Input_log => $file,
                    Output_log => $ofile);

    print "\nConnecting to $host ...\n";
    $t->open("$host");
    $t->login(abcde,abc123);
    my @lines = $t->cmd('ls');
    print "$host: Directory Contents:\n";
    print "@lines \n";
    $t->close;
}
