Hello all, I am attempting to connect to a network device using Net::Telnet, the issue is that the device needs to have a new line sent after connection to load the login window. Currently (and not working) my code is as follows: 
#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Telnet;
use Data::Dumper;

my $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                         Prompt  => '/>/');

$t->open("192.168.3.35");
$t->print("");
$t->login('user','****');
$t->print('3');
$t->print('1');
my @lines = $t->print('2');

print Dumper @lines;

exit(0);

I have also tried with: 
#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Telnet;
use Data::Dumper;

my $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                         Prompt  => '/>/');

$t->open("192.168.3.35");
$t->login('user','****');
$t->print('3');
$t->print('1');
my @lines = $t->print('2');

print Dumper @lines;

exit(0);

I have also attempted the $t->waitfor('/string/') option but all return the following error:
timed-out waiting for login prompt at rici_test.pl line 13
So, in essence, I am trying to send a carriage return before attempting to log in and I am having no luck. This is part of a log gathering utility, connecting to a Rad RICi-T3. My other option is to go through the web gui but then the interface is all in Javascript so, WWW::Mechanize does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
