Hey all I am having some trouble with Expect::Simple and need to get some advice or direction from you all on what I am doing wrong. I am trying to use this module to log into a remote Layer4 load balancer and roll device (servers) in and out of production, but for some reason I am not getting what I want right now below in my code thus far and what errors I am seeing.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

# This is a  wrapper script that will use Expect
# to telnet to the VIP changer for PHX and roll
# in and out of prod for service reasons

use strict;
use Expect::Simple;


my $obj = new Expect::Simple {
   Cmd => "telnet my.host.com verbose=1",
           Prompt => 'Enter Password',
           DisconnectCmd => 'quit',
           Verbose => 0,
           Debug => 0,
           Timeout => 100
   };

$obj->send( my $cmd );
     print $obj->before;
     print $obj->after;
     print $obj->match_str, "\n";
     print $obj->match_idx, "\n";
     print $obj->error_expect;
     print $obj->error;

my $expect_object = $obj->expect_handle;

Here is what I get in error:

Expect::Simple: Expect::Simple: couldn't find prompt

I am lost and do not know where to go from here, does anyone have a beeter example of using this module??

Thanks all
