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