Telnet: Can't locate Net/Telnet.pm

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

I was trying to use Net::Telnet in a perl script. I get can't locate Net/Telnet.pm errors while executing the perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl5
use Net::Telnet ();
$username = rami
$passwd = rami
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
$t->open("10.10.4.11");
#$t->login($username, $passwd);
@lines = $t->cmd("ls");
print @lines;

I get the following message while executing the script Can't locate Net/Telnet.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at telnettest.pl line 2.

Hi PerlMe, Did you install Net::Telnet properly? Take a look at Installing Modules from the Tutorials section of this site should you need help installing modules. Update: I suspect this may be a typo but `$username = rami $passwd = rami` [download] Should of look something like: `use strict; use warnings; my $username = 'rami'; my $passwd = 'rami'; etc...` [download] Adding `use strict;` and `use warnings;` is a good idea when you are developing/debugging code. Hope this helps Martin	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks Martin, I finally got the installation right. I was using unix based OS, 'ubuntu' and 'Fedora'. I use the following commands to install it. #perl -MCPAN -e'shell' Cpan> install Net::Telnet	[reply]
