Del command

[dod123]

Hello alll;

I am running a perl scripts on a remote server using telnet.
In order to terminate one of the commands i have to hit the DEL command to stop the command output,
I tried the ascii representation of del(177) but probably i don't know how to send ascii.

Thanks for yuor help.

Hi,

Mmm.. is this via Net::Terminal, or something like that?

Cheers

Net::Telnet

Just to be sure, that's the ascii code 177 is in octal, right? A quick google for a chart says 127/7F/177 in dec/hex/oct. I only bring it up b/c I normally see such things in hex or dec, but outside of *nix permissions, I rarely see anyone use octal.

Thanks, but I already tried all the representations
(eg. 127/7F/177 )

so something as simple as

$obj->put(String => chr(127))

doesn't work? Can you send other characters with the same method? Can you run the script locally and send the delete key without Net::Telnet?
