Re: Control number of running telnet sessions

To be honest, I don't really understand the question...

But if there's lots of telnet-ing to be done from one processes.... POE::Component::Client::Telnet will probably help. POE does all the hard work for you. I've had a mixed relationship with POE. Sometimes I find it a little tricky, but when I'm connecting to lots of services from one process, it's really the way to go.

Basically I have a list of devices that I need to connect to on a daily basis. Using an Access Server with 30 modems I want to manage and control the utilisation of the modems. So when I finish collecting data from a device I'll close down the session and then I want a 'session controller' to start another collection process to a different device. So I utilise the modems as much as possible at all times. The modems are accessed via a pool so I use a telnet and tcp port to initiate a modem connection. Hopefully that explains the background and what I'm trying to achieve better.	[reply]
