I am fairly new to programming and very new to perl. I am having an issue with what I believe should be a simple task. Here is the code I use to log onto a box, navagate to where I need to go (inside a menu drive (text) program) and run a report. While this is working, the output I am getting is including the menus and such before the report runs. I want just the report. Any tips or suggestions, please? 
#!/usr/bin/perl

my ($t, $op1, $op2);

        use Net::Telnet ();
        $t = new Net::Telnet;
        $t->open("192.168.1.1");

        ## Open data file for writing
        open (nvfile, '>testout.txt');

        ## Wait for first prompt and respond with 'era'.
        $t->waitfor('/login:/');
        $t->print("era");

        ## Wait for login prompt.
        $t->waitfor('/USER ID/');
        $t->print("ANYUSER");
        $t->print("ANYPASS");

        ## Navigate to the report screen and select report to run.
        $t->waitfor('/SELECTION/');
        $t->print("77");
        $t->print("1");
        $t->print("4");
        $t->print("6910");
        $t->print("?");
        $t->print("10");

        ## Run report On-screen and capture to file
        $t->print("O");
        ($op1) = $t->waitfor('/Press any key to continue/');
        print nvfile $op1;
        $t->print("N");
        ($op2) = $t->waitfor('/REPORT COMPLETE/');
        print nvfile  $op2;
        $t->print("");
        $t->print("END");

        ## Logoff
        $t->waitfor('/SELECTION/');
        $t->print("88");
        $t->print("Y");

exit;
