The FILENO issue that you are encountering is because Net::Telnet is trying to get a fileno that it can hand to C code which doesn't understand Perl filehandles. But it is implemented in Perl so there is no such fileno, and therefore no FILENO method implemented, and therefore you have a problem. That's a non-starter.

The first option is to stop using threads. This is not as crazy as it sounds. Try replacing threads with forks, and see if it works. If it does, then your thread problems may go away. If they don't go away, then be careful to require the module from within the same "thread" as you instantiate the object and they definitely should go away.

Another option is to create a standalone process that uses Net::Appliance::Session and Net::SSH::Perl which can be driven from within a thread in your main application. Be warned that this type of network programming usually takes more work than you were planning on.

The third option I see is to try to debug the thread problems in the original modules. I have no idea how easy or hard that will be. If you're lucky it will be as simple as not using the modules, but instead require them in the thread that you instantiate the objects from.
