| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 1 Net::Telnet allows you to make client connections to a TCP port and do |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 2 network I/O, especially to a port using the TELNET protocol. |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 3 Simple I/O methods such as print, get, and getline are provided. |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 4 More sophisticated interactive features are provided because connecting |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 5 to a TELNET port ultimately means communicating with a program designed |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 6 for human interaction. |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 7 These interactive features include the ability to specify a time-out and |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 8 to wait for patterns to appear in the input stream, such as the prompt |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 9 from a shell. |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 10 IPv6 support is available when using perl 5.14 or later, see family(). |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 11 |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 12 Other reasons to use this module than strictly with a TELNET port are: |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 13 |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 14 - You're not familiar with sockets and you want a simple way to make |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 15 client connections to TCP services. |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 16 - You want to be able to specify your own time-out while connecting, |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 17 reading, or writing. |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 18 - You're communicating with an interactive program at the other end of |
| Hans-G?nter@24248 | 19 some socket or pipe and you want to wait for certain patterns to appear. |
