I am having a frustrating problem extracting information from routers and switches. I have tried several variations of code, but for some reason, I am not getting any results in my variables. Here is a code snippet. 
my @results = $telnetvar->cmd(String => 'show version', 
     Prompt => '/#/') ;

I have verified that the script opens the connection to the device, and authenticates. For whatever reason, when I try to print out the @results, like follows 
foreach $resultline (@results) {
     print OUTPUT "$resultline\n";
}

I never get any results in $resultline I have written similar code elsewhere, and it still works, yet this is not working. I've tried it using activePerl 5.8 on both Windows and Unix (Sun), and using Perl 5.003 on Unix, and also using the Net::Telnet and even the Net::Telnet::Cisco mods. No luck. Any ideas on what I can try next? Thanks
