Hi Folks, I'm having some trouble logging into a Cisco switch using Net::Session::Appliance. I'm pretty sure I had this working some time ago but its failing now on a different host possibly due to a more recent perl version. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::Appliance::Session;

my $pass="password";
my $user="username";
my $host="10.10.10.10";

my $ssh = Net::Appliance::Session->new( personality => 'ios', host => 
+$host, transport => 'SSH');

$ssh->connect ( name => $user, password => $pass);

$ssh->cmd("config term");
$ssh->cmd(" interface fastethernet 0/1");
$ssh->cmd(" desc test");
$ssh->close;

When I run the script I get the following error;

login failed to remote host - prompt does not match at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Net/Appliance/Session/Transport.pm line 78.

Any help would be appreciated!

Kind regards.
