Thanks for your post. I guess I missed that tidbit of info. I can see it pass the 1 when I query the string. I modified my call line to the following

@array=$telnet->cmd(string => 'ls', prompt => '/=>/');

to explain the prompt tag, I found the following tidbit of info

To run a program and gather its output, use the cmd method. Pass it the string to send; it returns the command output as one line per list element in list context, or as one long line in scalar context. It waits for the Prompt before returning.

my array is still coming back empty, I'm guessing I'm not passing the information via a list context, so how would I go about doing it? Thanks again for all your help!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
