Hi, Michael

Post the problem.  There are many people on the list that can help with 
various issues.  Personally, I've done a fair amount of work doing 
exactly what you are trying to do -- scripting network devices (Nortel 
products mainly, though some others as well).  I moved to Ruby from Perl 
due to problems in Perl's telnet library and haven't looked back.

So, when in doubt, post the code.
