Set the timeout for telnet session to a longer period of time.

See the documentation "timeout" and "timed_out" in Net::Telnet

I tried using the timeout option early on. The problem is the amount of cache flow data. I could set the timeout for 10 minutes there would still be plenty more data to grab. I think the alarm function will work for me though. Thanks for the suggestions.	[reply]
