note kcott <p>G'day [oldwarrior32],</p> <p> I suspect you want double-quotes around <c>$usename</c>. </p> <p> I had intended to investigate this a little more thoroughly but I can't find a <c>Telnet</c> module on [http://search.cpan.org/|CPAN] - there's quite a few with <c>Telnet</c> as part of their names. Perhaps provide a link to the module in question. </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
