You probably need to send the cisco something like 
set cli pagination off

[download]
or 
ter­minal length 0

[download]
In order to get more than 1 "page" worth at a time.

Either that, or keep sending CR, to get the next page of data, until there is no more.

Also, please see Writeup Formatting Tips to learn how to format your message properly.

Update : Oops - just noticed that your "$zero_screen" does exactly that already.

Try Net::Telnet debugging, using input_log() or dump_log().

     Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
    Practice is when something works, but you don't know why it works.
    Programmers combine Theory and Practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.         -Anonymous
