Re: telnet question

A good place to start is the threading tutorial I guess, as well as the Net::Telnet documentation.

An alternative might be POE, that's a matter of taste. It comes with POE::Component::Client::Telnet.

Since Net::Telnet isa IO::Socket::INET, you can probably also use IO::Select to multiplex many simultaneous connections, without fork() or threads. I haven't investigated this though. -David	[reply]

So your saying Net::Telnet anf IO::Select would be the the one i use and fork?if i got this right.	[reply]

No, you would not normally use IO::Select and fork() together. The three main approaches to parallel communications are: threaded: `use threads;` forking: `fork()` multiplexed: `use`IO::Select`;` As I said above, I don't know for sure that you could get Net::Telnet to work with IO::Select (it has to do with buffering). -David	[reply] [d/l] [select]
