Пакет perl-Net-Telnet: Информация

Net::Telnet allows you to make client connections to a TCP port
and do network I/O, especially to a port using the TELNET protocol.
Simple I/O methods such as print, get, and getline are provided.
More sophisticated interactive features are provided because connecting
to a TELNET port ultimately means communicating with a program designed
for human interaction.  These interactive features include the ability
to specify a time-out and to wait for patterns to appear in the
stream, such as the prompt from a shell.
