Re: Problem with regex passed to a hash

Try qr:

($prematch,$match) = $session->waitfor(match => qr/$username/,
                                            Timeout => 10);

With qr doesn't appears the error, but there is no match(?) Gonna study the qr function. Thanks!	[reply]

Yeah, Net::Telnet is rather old and uses a weird method of passing regexes as arguments. For a more recent module qr// would be appropriate, but Net::Telnet requires a string that starts and ends with a slash. The other posters are right when they say you should double quote. Any method for building strings will work: `'/'.$username.'/' "/$username/" sprintf('/%s/', $username)` [download] As an aside, if you're trying to log in, there's a login method in Net::Telnet.
