in thread Net::Telnet "unknown terminal type"

Thank for the suggestions. Unfortunately it looks like Net::Telnet isn't part of the SuSE distro.

BTW - Any idea why Net::Telnet isn't included in Perldoc.com's module list ( http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/lib.html )? Is it because Net::Telnet isn't included in all distro's?

    From the command line you can run perldoc Net::Telnet. That should return some documentation if you can't find it on perldoc.com.

    As far as your terminal type problem, I've never run into problems connecting to a remote host with an unknown term type, its ust looks funny, heh.

    AFAIK, Net::Telnet is a CPAN module, but it's not part of the standard Perl distribution (that's why it's not on the Perl 5.8.0 Module List). If you search forNet::Telnet at perldoc it's there.

    AFAIK perldoc.com isn't indexed for even ready for perl5.8.0. If you search for "open", a function that we all know is in perl5.8.0, it won't find it either.

    search.cpan.org is a much better choice for what's "officially" part of CPAN.
