Autoflush Net::Telnet Input

robpennington84 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How would I go about using autoflush() on the Input_log created in the Telnet session below??


$jun_session = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                                Input_log => "Juniper/MIA/Status.log",
                                Prompt => '/rpenn\@.*\>/');

I ran into a problem where one of the configuration files my script was pulling from a router was exceeding the maximum input buffer length of 1048576. Did some research and found the autoflush function which sounds like it will skip buffering all together.

Pass a file handle instead of a file name to Input_log. You can enable autoflush on the handle before you pass it on. Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply]
