Re: Net::Telnet "unknown terminal type"

Hi!

I'd try to run the script locally on the SuSE Box, (against localhost), to see if the 'network' termtype is a Net::Telnet or an AIX thing. Maybe setting $ENV{TERM} = 'vt100' will help, but I don't really belive that myself... ;)

Just my two thoughts on that...

So long, Flexx

Thank for the suggestions. Unfortunately it looks like Net::Telnet isn't part of the SuSE distro. BTW - Any idea why Net::Telnet isn't included in Perldoc.com's module list ( http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/lib.html )? Is it because Net::Telnet isn't included in all distro's?	[reply]

From the command line you can run `perldoc Net::Telnet`. That should return some documentation if you can't find it on perldoc.com. As far as your terminal type problem, I've never run into problems connecting to a remote host with an unknown term type, its ust looks funny, heh. -- Can't never could do anything, so give me and inch, I'll make it a mile.

AFAIK, Net::Telnet is a CPAN module, but it's not part of the standard Perl distribution (that's why it's not on the Perl 5.8.0 Module List). If you search forNet::Telnet at perldoc it's there. So long Flexx	[reply]

AFAIK perldoc.com isn't indexed for even ready for perl5.8.0. If you search for "open", a function that we all know is in perl5.8.0, it won't find it either. search.cpan.org is a much better choice for what's "officially" part of CPAN. --jb	[reply]
