in reply to problem in perl telnet module
It would really help if we knew exactly when it's hanging--is it during open? login? cmd?
Have you tried using input_log, as the documentation recommends? If it's hanging during cmd, that could indicate that the Prompt regex is incorrect; input_log may help you debug that.
In the mean time, I'd like to point out a couple other problems:
- You aren't bringing the module in the way it's intended to be. Remove the BEGIN block and the require, and replace it with a simple use Net::Telnet;.
- You don't need new twice in new Net::Telnet->new--either new Net::Telnet or Net::Telnet->new is fine. Use whichever you think looks better. (Frankly, I'm not sure why the two-new version even works.)
