net::telnet problem

Hi

I have written a script which logs onto the server and issues a command - So
far so good. If the command returns a lot of data and the server response is
to issue a [more] response the module hangs and times out waiting I presume
for the prompt.

What I am trying to do is a basic <STDOUT> to a file which I can get to work
fine with the SSH module but cannot replicate this with the telnet module.

Any clues

Cheers
Nigel

You'll need to tell the program to not put out the "[more]" prompt.
Check the docs on the program being run, it may be something like
set terminal pagelength 0
to not pause every 24 lines.
