I want to write a script that allows me to login to a terminal server, that is connected to a cisco router serial port:

But I am having a problem with the Net::Telnet::Cisco portion timing out. I assume this has to do with the console server interraction. Here are the exact steps I want to happen:
1)Telnet <IP> <Port number> of console server
2)Issue a couple carriage returns to bring up password prompt
3)Issue login password and then enable password
4)Once logged in, issue some commands
5)Logout

Any help is greatly appreciated! (Code Snippet Below)

my $session = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => '192.168.200.20', port =
+> '2036' );

# The following is not necessary because only a password
# prompt is shown...
$session->login('password','password');

my @output = $session->cmd("show version");
print @output;

# Enable mode
if ($session->enable("enable_password") ) {
    @output = $session->cmd('show interfaces eth summary');
    print "My privileges: @output\n";
} else {
    warn "Can't enable: " . $session->errmsg;
}

$session->close;
