in thread Remote server file access issue

The shell is the program that processes your command line if you login to the remote system via telnet (not from perl and Net::Telnet). It is likely to be ksh, bash, sh, tcsh - but not perl. Therefore the commands that you send must be commands for your login shell as stated in the file /etc/passwd.

Your login shell appears to be ksh, as I can see from your post:
