I believe you are going to need to use the read/wait_for idiom inside of a loop simulating the command/output environment for the su subshell. >From the Net::Telnet docs, "Consider using a combination of print() and waitfor() as an alternative to this method when it doesn't do what you want, e.g. the command you send prompts for input." Essentially once you have su'd you are going to be sent the su prompt, wait for that, then do 'print' to send a command, then wait for the prompt again, etc. I *believe* (aka I haven't done it before) that this will work. Check the Net::Telnet docs for much more information on this. You might also consider skipping the 'su' stuff altogether and see if sudo can be used as an alternative. Then you can have access to specific commands, without a password if desired.
