in reply to problem in perl telnet module

In the absence of other info (as already commented on) are you sure the machine is running Telnet. My install of Suse only uses SSH.

    Actually Shivageeta did say "I am also able to manually telnet to the SUSE/SLES boxes". I would think if telnetd was not running on the machine, it would result in a simple failure to connect (so Net::Telnet->new returns undef and this is caught as a fatal error).
