i sent this to the comp.lang.perl.modules newsgroup as the
documentation suggests and got no response at all, so i thought i'd
see if anyone here may be able to help.

i'm using net::telnet to connect to a remote script (rather than a
login).  the script internally uses "^]" to step back through itself,
conflicting with the default escape telnet character.  this wouldn't
be a problem per se except that the login to the system uses securid
(requiring manual login each time), and once i connect i need to step
through verifying several hundred auxiliary systems; being forced to
manually login for each new test would negate the benefits of a
script.

i had the idea of, once connecting, dropping back to telnet and doing
a "set escape ^[" but then realized net::telnet may not drop back to a
telnet prompt as the telnet command would (no i haven't verified this
for sure yet because i had my "epiphany" just as i was leaving work
for the day, and i've been forced to take the rest of the week off for
personal reasons).

question: what is one/the way to redefine the net::telnet escape
character from ^] to another ^[ (or anything else?)

tia,
joe
