Subject: Re: How to process telnet data(binary)

Have you tried setting Binmode option to Net::Telnet?

    # Binmode:: if false (the default), newline substitution is 
performed.
    #           Outgoing LF is
    #           converted to CRLF, and incoming CRLF is converted to LF. 
If
    #           true, this substitution is not performed.  This value 
can
    #           also be set with the #binmode() method.  The
    #           outgoing conversion only applies to the #puts() and 
#print()
    #           methods, not the #write() method.  The precise nature of
    #           the newline conversion is also affected by the telnet 
options
    #           SGA and BIN.

However I would say that your proposed way of doing things is very 
fragile, because if nothing else there will be trailing garbage (the 
command prompt) added to your data.

You might want to look at SCP or SFTP for a more robust way of copying 
files from a Linux system.
