net::telnet and windows 'telnet' server

[bsharm1]

Hi,

I am trying to use the net::telnet module from a Solaris machine to an NT machine but am having problems. Basically the output of my script does not return despite that the dump.log and input.log show the correct output. Has anyone gotten this to work? Here is a code snippet:

use Net::Telnet;
$telnet = new Net::Telnet( Timeout=>10,
Errmode=>'die',
Prompt => '/C:\\\>/',
dump_log => 'dump.log',
input_log => 'input.log',
output_log => 'output.log',
);
$telnet->open('HOSTNAME');
$telnet->login('Administrator', '*****');
@output = $telnet->cmd('c:\\winnt\\system32\\hostname');

print &quot;output:-> @output <- \n&quot;;

I may be talking through my hat here, but I was under the impression that NT does not contain a native telnet server and therefore cannot accept incoming sessions without third party software being installed. Certainly I cannot get your script to work on my setup either.
