Re: "hidden" characters in an input stream

[Dave K]

Jason,
 You didn't say anyting about the OSs involved, but the '\n' *nix eoln
versus win '\r\n' is an often encountered problem.
if you are *nix and target is or may be win

while (my $line = $Telnet->getline(Timeout => 5,)) {
   $line =~ s/\r\n$\\;
        chomp $line;
            ...

might do the trick.
