Hi,

I am trying to telnet from a WinXP machine to another WINNT Svr and execute a series of Batch files. I am able to login successfully and change directories. However, PERL times out at this place. It doesn't go onto the next line. Here is my code: 

#!C:\Perl\bin\perl

use warnings;
use Net::Telnet;

$telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>40,
            Dump_log=>'dump.log',
            Input_log=>'input.log',
            Output_log=>'output.log',
            Errmode=>'die');
$telnet->open('x.x.x.x');

$telnet->waitfor('/login/');
$telnet->print("vtat");
print "Login Entered\n";
$telnet->waitfor('/password:/');
$telnet->print("vtat");
print "Password Entered\n";
$telnet->waitfor('/.*\\n/');
$telnet->cmd("cd c:\\Documents and Settings\\vtat\\SCRIPTS\\SCL");
$telnet->waitfor('/.*\\n/');
print $telnet->cmd("Batchfile1.bat");
$telnet->waitfor('/complete/');
print $telnet->cmd("Batchfile2.bat
$telnet->close;

Here is the output from the input.log file, 

Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Service 


login: vtat

password:

Thank you for your suggestion.
