Re: using NET::TELNET waiting for login prompt

Did you look at the documentation for Net::Telnet? It gives you several things to try (like using dump_log() or input_log()). If you did use those, what did they tell you? Are you sure that there's just a single space after the < in the prompt? Your regexp will only match a single space and the EOL. If there are no spaces or more than one, it won't match

Here's what the input.log shows `ENTER USERNAME < ^H` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Assuming the ^H at the end is part of the data received by your program, then that's what's causing the failure. You could try `... Prompt => '/[\$#%:><][\s\b]+$/ ...` [download] If that doesn't work, the output from dump_log() might also be helpful. fnord	[reply] [d/l]
