What is the purpose of CLI for accessing a node and how to use it??? Plz help me out in making the Perl script for the purpose... BSC is "BASE STATION CONTROLLER " which has some external fault indications through alarms. In bsc we work on windows platform. so we need to fetch these alarms data from bsc and save it in a folder. The script is based of directly fetching the data from the node with bypassing the oss server(INTELLIGENT SERVER) and accessing the node through router path . 
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Time::Local;

use Net::CLI;

         # Create the object instance for Telnet
         $cli = new Net::CLI('TELNET');
     $NAME = "BSC14";
         # Connect to host
         $cli->connect('HOSTNAME');
         # Perform login
         $cli->login(    Username        => $USERNAME,
                         Password        => $PASSWORD,
                    );
     $cli->SearchAndExec('Windows NT Domain:');
     $cli->print('\n');
     $cli->system('C:\WINNT\Profiles\PATHNAME OF BSC>');
     
         # Send a command and read the resulting output
         $output = $cli->cmd("mml");
         print $output;
     $cli->print('\n');
     $cli->cmd("allip;");
     open ALLIP,">c:\\mm1\\log\\$NAME.txt";
     @output = $cli->system('/<$/i');
     $cli->cmd("exit");
     $cli->system('C:\WINNT\Profiles\PATHNAME OF BSC>');
     $cli->cmd("exit");
         print ALLIP "$NAME\t";
         print ALLIP @output;
         close(ALLIP);
     
         $cli->disconnect;
