I'm actually trying to connect to several servers on the telnet port, basically read in anything until the login: and then disconnect.<br />
<br />
This way I can check the virtual server's handshakes.<br />

That's excellent, but as in my question I really need to do this in perl, not shell.<br />

I've got Net::Telnet, that'll time me out and send/recieve data, but it won't actually send me what I need.<br />
<br />
I'm currently modifying the Telnet.pm module so it will do what I want it to do. :/<br />

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
