Can perl do this? 2

[unixrookie]

I have 32 routers in my company and i need to make sure i have current configs. Can a perl script do something similar to the following
Telnet to a host
type a &quot;password&quot; <cr>
type &quot;enable&quot; <cr>
type a &quot;password <cr>
type &quot;wr&quot; <cr>
type &quot;copy start tftp:&quot; <cr>
type an &quot;ip address&quot; <cr>
type &quot;$var-confg&quot; <cr> (where $var is the name of the router)
type &quot;exit&quot;

I would appreciate any suggestions. Please go easy i'm new to perl and decided to learn it for this task. Thanks in advance.

Try the perl module Expect. The syntax is similar to the language &quot;expect&quot;.

Check out the Net-Telnet module at

http://www.cpan.org/

The module's documentation contains a couple of examples which are similar to your task.

Good Luck
