Just out of curiosity, does the description for this package really need to be THAT long? I really think the first paragraph is enough..

Simple I/O methods such as print, get, and getline are provided. More sophisticated interactive features are provided because connecting to a TELNET port ultimately means communicating with a program designed for human interaction. These interactive features include the ability to specify a timeout and to wait for patterns to appear in the input stream, such as the prompt from a shell. Here's an example that prints who's logged-on to the remote host sparky. In addition to a username and password, you must also know the user's shell prompt, which for this example it's bash$ use Net::Telnet (); $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10, Prompt => '/bash\$ $/'); $t->open("sparky"); $t->login($username, $passwd); @lines = $t->cmd("/usr/bin/who"); print @lines; See the user documentation for more examples. Also see the user documentation for the section "What To Know Before Using". Usage questions should be directed to the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.perl.modules. Contact me, Jay Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvement. --=-=-= * Thu Aug 31 2000 Philippe Libat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3.02-1mdk - doc - macroszifications. -- http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3
