dsb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone know if there is a maximum result size for Net::Telnet's cmd() method? The docs don't mention anything.

The situation is, I'm returning a result set into an array, and the result set it being truncated.

my @ps = $t->cmd( "ps -elf" );
So @ps should have say 70 lines, instead it has only 60. When I run this command from the command line on the target box, the results are as expected. The line I'm looking for is towards the end of the result set, so if I modify the ps command with a grep pattern, I do wind up seeing the line I'm looking for. This tells me that what is being returned by cmd() is not what it received from the other box.
