Yes it dies by default. Read "perldoc Net::Telnet" and search for 'errmode' to get more info.	[reply]

Thanks, found it and made it work... How about if the Telnet can't be found? When that happens, it just continues with the current module it's in. :-(	[reply]

What exactly do you mean? If Net::Telnet can't be found, `use Net::Telnet;` will die. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]
