Jack0817 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am attempting to write a perl script that uses telnet to connect to a remote server. I am able to manually log into the servers through telnet with no problems, but when I run my script which invokes telnet, using the same screen names, it times out. Does anyone have any clues why my script is not getting through???? thanks for your help

    Short answer is: try looking at Net::Telnet.
