Re^2: problem in perl telnet module

[Fletch]

$ perl -MO=Deparse,-p,-q -e '$telnet = new Net::Telnet->new( Timeout=>
+20,Prompt => "/[\$%#>] $/");'
($telnet = 'Net::Telnet'->new->new('Timeout', 20, 'Prompt', ('/[$%#>] 
+' . $/)));

Net::Telnet's new has the called-with-ref-use-its-class incantation (way back in IO::Handle::new). But you're right, it's unnecessary.
