We dun it!!!

Eventually using Net::SSH::Expect we got the tip in that modules docs that got it working. Not tried it with the other modules used yet but at least I now have comms.

The solution?? We remember I said we are talking to an application on a Windoze box? Net::SSH::Expect has a command/method called terminator used to change the command terminator from the nice normal '\n' to '\n\r'. Did this and presto, we get responces.
