Hi all,

I am new to perl programming and slowly starting my network programing. I want to connect to a device and fetch a who all logged in that device, for that i am not using Net::Telnet module to connect to the device however i am using normal telnet located in the /usr/bin/telnet to connect to the device.

Below is my program 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#use Net::Telnet;
#use strict;

print "Enter the hostname you want to connect? \n" ;
$hostname = <>;
$telnet = `telnet $hostname `;

#$telnet = new Net::Telnet (Timeout=>10, Errmode=>'die');
#$telnet -> open('$hostname');
$telnet -> waitfor('/Username: $/i');
$telnet -> print('axiom');
$telnet -> waitfor('/Password: $/i');
$telnet -> print('axiom');
$telnet -> waitfor('/\$ $/i');
$telnet -> print('who');
$output = $telnet->waitfor('/\$ $/i');
print $output;

I am not sure what is wrong here in the code. Can anyone help me out on this regards.

Cheers,
