I have been playing with perl on and off for the last year or so, but I am in no way a programmer, so bare with me if I explain my problems wrong.

I am using expect to login and run some commands on remote servers. The problem I am having is there is a large SSH banner which seems to confuse expect. It says: SSHAuthenticationError Login timed out. The input stream currently has the contents bellow: ****************************************************************************** Then the banner here.

Second problem I am having is, I have using the following code to read the output from commands and print it to the screen. But it never seems to read the last line of output. I am wondering if its because the last line is delayed? Is there a function to make the read line statement wait for a prompt back?

                                my $line;
                        while ( defined ($line = $ssh->read_line()) ) 
+{
                                print $line . "\n";

Thanks in advance.
