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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
