hi monks

i need to know whether IPC::Run can be used to spawn a telnet session and send some commands to it and display their output

i came across Net::Telnet and used it. it works.

but i need to know whether thi implentation is possible through IPC::Run

below is my code 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use IPC::Run qw(start pump finish timeout) ;

my $server_address ='192.168.166.100';


my @cat = qw(cmd.exe);




my $user_name = 'anitha';

#my @cat = qw(cmd /k telnet $server_address);

my $h =start(\@cat, \$in , \$out);


#pump $h while $out=~/.*>/i;


$in .="telnet 192.168.166.100"."\n";
pump $h until $out=~/login:/i;

$in .=$user_name."\n";

pump $h while $out=~/password .* /i;

"before passwd\n";
$in .="9888888"."\n";

 pump $h while $out=~/[.*]$/;
 
 $in .="help"."\n";
 
 pump $h while $out=~/[.*]$/;
 

print "$out\n";
