U should be able to manually telnet to the port and do the transaction by
just typing/pasting the string. Does that work? Does the proper response
show up on the screen?

If there was no new line sequence transmitted by the other end then this
would fail. Remember that <> is the line input operator. It won't fire
until it sees that new line on the input. undef'ing $/ might make it work.

That should have worked, since it's essentially the same as ur try #3.
Maybe declaring binmode on $handle would make a difference. Perhaps some
unicode strangeness is going on.

I noticed in ur original code that ur reading and writing to the same
handle. According to perldoc mixing print's and sysread's on the same
handle is a no-no. That's because they're using different I/O schemes which
can collide. Have u tried it with a normal read? "Conventional wisdom" has
it that sysread's should only be used with syswrite's. $return = read
$handle, $buffer, 999999; should give u what u want.
