Ok, this one is solved. Thanks for the help. It definitely was hanging on the prompt.

The following is from the perldoc telnet document.

* The methods "login()" and "cmd()" use the *prompt* setting in the object to determine when a login or remote command is complete. Those methods will fail with a time-out if you don't set the prompt correctly.

Here's the change I made to my code. I added the Prompt=>'/Bilbo>$/i', line. 

my $telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>10, 
Prompt=>'/Bilbo>$/i', 
Errmode=>'die', 
Dump_Log=>'dump.txt', 
Input_log=>'input.txt', 
Output_log=>'output.txt', 
);
