You might want to try the Expect module under perl which does not require
the expect program as you might expect from its name :) (phew!)
It allows you to wait for responses from the remote end using regexps if
you want, it is fully documented and is available from CPAN.
I've used it successful to automate changes to routers, etc.
Best of luck,
