rlogin

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

I have looked in perl monks to find out how to interactive login. How can I pass the password to the target machine.I am seeking the most basic way to do this. I simply don't grasp how to get to password after an rlogin or ftp.expect is not installed on this machine and security is not an issue.

As long as security really isn't an issue, I'm quite fond of Net::Telnet, q.v. Properly set up, it can grok logging into a host with a username and password, running a simple command, and spitting back the output. Peace, -McD	[reply]

For rlogin, I would recommend looking into Net::Netrc. FTP is more straightforward. Simply include the password as a paramater to a Net::FTP object.	[reply]
