An untested thought - if you are running sudo, which is an executable,
it is likely grabbing output from the cmds you are subsequently
running and they don't make it to telnet's STD handles. Try using a
script on the remote machine that runs those commands with output
redirected to a file then retrieve the content
of that file. Not sure of sudo syntax..
$telnet->cmd('sudo root;uname -a > \tmp\mytempfile');
my @returned = $telnet->cmd('cat \tmp\mytempfile');
