How to issue "Ctrl-y" to a network device

sriram83.life has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I am executing commands on telecommunications 2G/3G network devices like GCS /MSS. On these elements, once a command is executed,i need to issue a "Ctrl-y" ( Contol y command) to exit from the previous prompt.But, I am not able to issue Ctrl-y to the device.This makes the device to wait until it times out and continue with other commands. This is delaying my script to execute and it is running for more than one day.I am able to enter into the router from which i can issue commands on to the device,but i am not able to "\cy" command on the device. Your help is much appreciated.

Sriram

Presumably you have a open handle to the device? (Why do we have to guess this?) So, have you tried: `print $devh chr(25);`?

Here you will find a list of all "Control codes" and their ASCII equivalents. I think you are looking for the "End of Medium" code.
