Jie,
I am not an expert, but since participating in this wonderful list, it has
been inferred
that one should shy away from system commands when perl actually has modules
that are designed for the desired goal. I would check out IO::Socket or
Net::Telnet.

Subject: A simple question
Dear all,
I plan to write a simple remote connection script, and then "ls" the content
of the current directory, input like
telnet hostname
username
password
ls
I use the following script:
system ("telnet hostname");
<STDOUT> = "username\n";
<STDOUT> = "password\n";
system ("ls");
It failed in the <STDOUT> syntax.
Can anyone kindly give me a hint?
Thanks,
Jie
