in reply to why is it taking so long to read all the lines in net::Telnet

I suspect your problem is that getlines "reads and returns all the lines of data from the object until end of file is read." and that getlines does not read end of file unless the remote end closes the telnet connection. In the mean time it waits and keeps reading any output produced, until it times out.

Update: which is what pc88mxer already said, now that I read it again.
