Hello-

I have 300 + cisco 4948 IOS switches that require new code tftp'd to them. I have been trying to use net::appliance::session for this. I am able to login to the device and send 'copy tftp bootflash:" and get the next prompt. But it never fills in 10.148.48.52. I read several posts regarding custom cmd using String and Match but I can't figure it out. Here is what I'm using:

my $session_obj = Net::Appliance::Session->new(
        Host => "swi-87",
                Platform => 'IOS'                       
                Transport => 'SSH',
                                        );

         $session_obj->connect(
               Name => $userinfo[0],
                     Password => $userinfo[1],
                           SHKC => 0
                                 );


    $session_obj->input_log(*STDOUT);
    $session_obj->begin_privileged($userinfo[1]);
    $session_obj->cmd("copy tftp bootflash:");
    $session_obj->cmd('10.148.48.52');
    $session_obj->cmd("cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-31.SGA9.bin");
    $session_obj->close;

Can anyone provide an example? Here are the prompts the switch provides: 

swi-87#copy tftp bootflash:
Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.10
Source filename []? cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-31.SGA9.bin
Destination filename [cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-31.SGA9.bin]?

I am able to capture the running config, set config-register.....using the module. I just can't get past the above prompts. I appreciate any assistance. Thanks
