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

Hey, is there anyway to disable the pattern match timeout?

if not how can i instead of using waitfor, have where it "listens" to the incoming data and then checks the data and stuff once it notices data is coming in, like in sockets?

thanks

    The answer is clearly given in the Net::Telnet manpage section on the waitfor method: 
    $ok = $obj->waitfor([Match   => $matchop,]
                    [String  => $string,]
                    [Timeout => $secs,]);
