=head1 NAME

Net::Telnet - interact with TELNET port or other TCP ports

=head1 SYNOPSIS

C<use Net::Telnet ();>

see METHODS or EXAMPLES sections below

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Net::Telnet allows you to make client connections to a TCP port and do
network I/O, especially to a port using the TELNET protocol.  Simple
I/O methods such as print, get, and getline are provided.  More
sophisticated interactive features are provided because connecting to
a TELNET port ultimately means communicating with a program designed
for human interaction.  These interactive features include the ability
to specify a time-out and to wait for patterns to appear in the input
stream, such as the prompt from a shell.  IPv6 support is available
when using perl 5.14 or later (see C<family()>.

Other reasons to use this module than strictly with a TELNET port are:

=over 2

=item *

You're not familiar with sockets and you want a simple way to make
client connections to TCP services.

=item *

You want to be able to specify your own time-out while connecting,
reading, or writing.

=item *

You're communicating with an interactive program at the other end of
some socket or pipe and you want to wait for certain patterns to
appear.

=back

Here's an example that prints who's logged-on to a remote host.  In
addition to a username and password, you must also know the user's
shell prompt, which for this example is C<"bash$ ">

use Net::Telnet ();
    $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                          Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
    $t->open($host);
    $t->login($username, $passwd);
    @lines = $t->cmd("who");
    print @lines;

See the B<EXAMPLES> section below for more examples.

Usage questions should be directed to the perlmonks.org discussion
group.  Bugs can be viewed or reported at cpan.org on the Net::Telnet
page.

=head2 What To Know Before Using

=over 2

=item *

All output is flushed while all input is buffered.  Each object
contains its own input buffer.

=item *

The output record separator for C<print()> and C<cmd()> is set to
C<"\n"> by default, so that you don't have to append all your commands
with a newline.  To avoid printing a trailing C<"\n"> use C<put()> or
set the I<output_record_separator> to C<"">.

=item *

The methods C<login()> and C<cmd()> use the I<prompt> setting in the
object to determine when a login or remote command is complete.  Those
methods will fail with a time-out if you don't set the prompt
correctly.

=item *

Use a combination of C<print()> and C<waitfor()> as an alternative to
C<login()> or C<cmd()> when they don't do what you want.

=item *

Errors such as timing-out are handled according to the error mode
action.  The default action is to print an error message to standard
error and have the program die.  See the C<errmode()> method for more
information.

=item *

When constructing the match operator argument for C<prompt()> or
C<waitfor()>, always use single quotes instead of double quotes to
avoid unexpected backslash interpretation (e.g. C<'/bash\$ $/'>).  If
you're constructing a DOS like file path, you'll need to use four
backslashes to represent one (e.g. C<'/c:\\\\users\\\\billE<gt>$/i'>).

Of course don't forget about regexp metacharacters like C<.>, C<[>, or
C<$>.  You'll only need a single backslash to quote them.  The anchor
metacharacters C<^> and C<$> refer to positions in the input buffer.
To avoid matching characters read that look like a prompt, it's a good
idea to end your prompt pattern with the C<$> anchor.  That way the
prompt will only match if it's the last thing read.

=item *

In the input stream, each sequence of I<carriage return> and I<line
feed> (i.e. C<"\015\012"> or CR LF) is converted to C<"\n">.  In the
output stream, each occurrence of C<"\n"> is converted to a sequence
of CR LF.  See C<binmode()> to change the behavior.  TCP protocols
typically use the ASCII sequence, carriage return and line feed to
designate a newline.

=item *

Timing-out while making a connection is disabled for machines that
don't support the C<alarm()> function.  Most notably these include
MS-Windows machines.

=item *

You'll need to be running at least Perl version 5.002 to use this
module.  This module does not require any libraries that don't already
come with a standard Perl distribution.

If you have the IO:: libraries installed (they come standard with
perl5.004 and later) then IO::Socket::INET is used as a base class,
otherwise FileHandle is used.

=back

=head2 Debugging

The typical usage bug causes a time-out error because you've made
incorrect assumptions about what the remote side actually sends.  The
easiest way to reconcile what the remote side sends with your
expectations is to use C<input_log()> or C<dump_log()>.

C<dump_log()> allows you to see the data being sent from the remote
side before any translation is done, while C<input_log()> shows you
the results after translation.  The translation includes converting
end of line characters, removing and responding to TELNET protocol
commands in the data stream.

=head2 Style of Named Parameters

Two different styles of named parameters are supported.  This document
only shows the IO:: style:

Net::Telnet->new(Timeout => 20);

however the dash-option style is also allowed:

Net::Telnet->new(-timeout => 20);

=head2 Connecting to a Remote MS-Windows Machine

By default MS-Windows doesn't come with a TELNET server.  However
third party TELNET servers are available.  Unfortunately many of these
servers falsely claim to be a TELNET server.  This is especially true
of the so-called "Microsoft Telnet Server" that comes installed with
some newer versions MS-Windows.

When a TELNET server first accepts a connection, it must use the ASCII
control characters carriage-return and line-feed to start a new line
(see RFC854).  A server like the "Microsoft Telnet Server" that
doesn't do this, isn't a TELNET server.  These servers send ANSI
terminal escape sequences to position to a column on a subsequent line
and to even position while writing characters that are adjacent to
each other.  Worse, when sending output these servers resend
previously sent command output in a misguided attempt to display an
entire terminal screen.

Connecting Net::Telnet to one of these false TELNET servers makes your
job of parsing command output very difficult.  It's better to replace
a false TELNET server with a real TELNET server.  The better TELNET
servers for MS-Windows allow you to avoid the ANSI escapes by turning
off something some of them call I<console mode>.

=head1 METHODS

In the calling sequences below, square brackets B<[]> represent
optional parameters.

=over 4

=item B<new> - create a new Net::Telnet object

$obj = new Net::Telnet ([$host]);

$obj = new Net::Telnet ([Binmode    => $mode,]
                            [Cmd_remove_mode => $mode,]
                            [Dump_Log   => $filename,]
                            [Errmode    => $errmode,]
                            [Family     => $family,]
                            [Fhopen     => $filehandle,]
                            [Host       => $host,]
                            [Input_log  => $file,]
                            [Input_record_separator => $chars,]
                            [Localfamily => $family,]
                            [Localhost   => $host,]
                            [Max_buffer_length => $len,]
                            [Ofs        => $chars,]
                            [Option_log => $file,]
                            [Ors        => $chars,]
                            [Output_field_separator => $chars,]
                            [Output_log => $file,]
                            [Output_record_separator => $chars,]
                            [Port       => $port,]
                            [Prompt     => $matchop,]
                            [Rs         => $chars,]
                            [Telnetmode => $mode,]
                            [Timeout    => $secs,]);

This is the constructor for Net::Telnet objects.  A new object is
returned on success, the error mode action is performed on failure -
see C<errmode()>.  The optional arguments are short-cuts to methods of
the same name.

If the I<$host> argument is given then the object is opened by
connecting to TCP I<$port> on I<$host>.  Also see C<open()>.  The new
object returned is given the following defaults in the absence of
corresponding named parameters:

=over 4

=item

The default I<Host> is C<"localhost">

=item

The default I<Port> is C<23>

=item

The default I<Family> is C<"ipv4">

=item

The default I<Prompt> is C<'/[\$%#E<gt>] $/'>

=item

The default I<Timeout> is C<10>

=item

The default I<Errmode> is C<"die">

=item

The default I<Output_record_separator> is C<"\n">.  Note that I<Ors>
is synonymous with I<Output_record_separator>.

=item

The default I<Input_record_separator> is C<"\n">.  Note that I<Rs> is
synonymous with I<Input_record_separator>.

=item

The default I<Binmode> is C<0>, which means do newline translation.

=item

The default I<Telnetmode> is C<1>, which means respond to TELNET
commands in the data stream.

=item

The default I<Cmd_remove_mode> is C<"auto">

=item

The defaults for I<Dump_log>, I<Input_log>, I<Option_log>, and
I<Output_log> are C<"">, which means that logging is turned-off.

=item

The default I<Max_buffer_length> is C<1048576> bytes, i.e. 1 MiB.

=item

The default I<Output_field_separator> is C<"">.  Note that I<Ofs>
is synonymous with I<Output_field_separator>.

=item

The default I<Localhost> is C<"">

=item

The default I<Localfamily> is C<"ipv4">

=back

=over 4

=item B<binmode> - toggle newline translation

$mode = $obj->binmode;

$prev = $obj->binmode($mode);

This method controls whether or not sequences of carriage returns and
line feeds (CR LF or more specifically C<"\015\012">) are translated.
By default they are translated (i.e. binmode is C<0>).

If no argument is given, the current mode is returned.

If I<$mode> is C<1> then binmode is I<on> and newline translation is
not done.

If I<$mode> is C<0> then binmode is I<off> and newline translation is
done.  In the input stream, each sequence of CR LF is converted to
C<"\n"> and in the output stream, each occurrence of C<"\n"> is
converted to a sequence of CR LF.

Note that input is always buffered.  Changing binmode doesn't effect
what's already been read into the buffer.  Output is not buffered and
changing binmode will have an immediate effect.

=back

=over 4

=item B<break> - send TELNET break character

$ok = $obj->break;

This method sends the TELNET break character.  This character is
provided because it's a signal outside the ASCII character set which
is currently given local meaning within many systems.  It's intended
to indicate that the Break Key or the Attention Key was hit.

This method returns C<1> on success, or performs the error mode action
on failure.

=back

=over 4

=item B<buffer> - scalar reference to object's input buffer

$ref = $obj->buffer;

This method returns a scalar reference to the input buffer for
I<$obj>.  Data in the input buffer is data that has been read from the
remote side but has yet to be read by the user.  Modifications to the
input buffer are returned by a subsequent read.

=back

=over 4

=item B<buffer_empty> - discard all data in object's input buffer

$obj->buffer_empty;

This method removes all data in the input buffer for I<$obj>.

=back

=over 4

=item B<close> - close object

$ok = $obj->close;

This method closes the socket, file, or pipe associated with the
object.  It always returns a value of C<1>.

=back

=over 4

=item B<cmd> - issue command and retrieve output

$ok = $obj->cmd($string);
    $ok = $obj->cmd(String   => $string,
                    [Output  => $ref,]
                    [Cmd_remove_mode => $mode,]
                    [Errmode => $mode,]
                    [Input_record_separator => $chars,]
                    [Ors     => $chars,]
                    [Output_record_separator => $chars,]
                    [Prompt  => $match,]
                    [Rs      => $chars,]
                    [Timeout => $secs,]);

@output = $obj->cmd($string);
    @output = $obj->cmd(String   => $string,
                        [Output  => $ref,]
                        [Cmd_remove_mode => $mode,]
                        [Errmode => $mode,]
                        [Input_record_separator => $chars,]
                        [Ors     => $chars,]
                        [Output_record_separator => $chars,]
                        [Prompt  => $match,]
                        [Rs      => $chars,]
                        [Timeout => $secs,]);

This method sends the command I<$string>, and reads the characters
sent back by the command up until and including the matching prompt.
It's assumed that the program to which you're sending is some kind of
command prompting interpreter such as a shell.

The command I<$string> is automatically appended with the
output_record_separator, by default it is C<"\n">.  This is similar
to someone typing a command and hitting the return key.  Set the
output_record_separator to change this behavior.

In a scalar context, the characters read from the remote side are
discarded and C<1> is returned on success.  On time-out, eof, or other
failures, the error mode action is performed.  See C<errmode()>.

In a list context, just the output generated by the command is
returned, one line per element.  In other words, all the characters in
between the echoed back command string and the prompt are returned.
If the command happens to return no output, a list containing one
element, the empty string is returned.  This is so the list will
indicate true in a boolean context.  On time-out, eof, or other
failures, the error mode action is performed.  See C<errmode()>.

The characters that matched the prompt may be retrieved using
C<last_prompt()>.

Many command interpreters echo back the command sent.  In most
situations, this method removes the first line returned from the
remote side (i.e. the echoed back command).  See C<cmd_remove_mode()>
for more control over this feature.

Use C<dump_log()> to debug when this method keeps timing-out and you
don't think it should.

Consider using a combination of C<print()> and C<waitfor()> as an
alternative to this method when it doesn't do what you want, e.g. the
command you send prompts for input.

The I<Output> named parameter provides an alternative method of
receiving command output.  If you pass a scalar reference, all the
output (even if it contains multiple lines) is returned in the
referenced scalar.  If you pass an array or hash reference, the lines
of output are returned in the referenced array or hash.  You can use
C<input_record_separator()> to change the notion of what separates a
line.

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of cmd_remove_mode, errmode, input_record_separator, ors,
output_record_separator, prompt, rs, and timeout.  Rs is synonymous
with input_record_separator and ors is synonymous with
output_record_separator.

=back

=over 4

=item B<cmd_remove_mode> - toggle removal of echoed commands

$mode = $obj->cmd_remove_mode;

$prev = $obj->cmd_remove_mode($mode);

This method controls how to deal with echoed back commands in the
output returned by cmd().  Typically, when you send a command to the
remote side, the first line of output returned is the command echoed
back.  Use this mode to remove the first line of output normally
returned by cmd().

If no argument is given, the current mode is returned.

If I<$mode> is C<0> then the command output returned from cmd() has no
lines removed.  If I<$mode> is a positive integer, then the first
I<$mode> lines of command output are stripped.

By default, I<$mode> is set to C<"auto">.  Auto means that whether or
not the first line of command output is stripped, depends on whether
or not the remote side offered to echo.  By default, Net::Telnet
always accepts an offer to echo by the remote side.  You can change
the default to reject such an offer using C<option_accept()>.

A warning is printed to STDERR when attempting to set this attribute
to something that is not C<"auto"> or a non-negative integer.

=back

=over 4

=item B<dump_log> - log all I/O in dump format

$fh = $obj->dump_log;

$fh = $obj->dump_log($fh);

$fh = $obj->dump_log($filename);

This method starts or stops dump format logging of all the object's
input and output.  The dump format shows the blocks read and written
in a hexadecimal and printable character format.  This method is
useful when debugging, however you might want to first try
C<input_log()> as it's more readable.

If no argument is given, the log filehandle is returned.  A returned
empty string indicates logging is off.

To stop logging, use an empty string as an argument.  The stopped
filehandle is not closed.

If an open filehandle is given, it is used for logging and returned.
Otherwise, the argument is assumed to be the name of a file, the
filename is opened for logging and a filehandle to it is returned.  If
the filehandle is not already opened or the filename can't be opened
for writing, the error mode action is performed.

=back

=over 4

=item B<eof> - end of file indicator

$eof = $obj->eof;

This method returns C<1> if end of file has been read, otherwise it
returns an empty string.  Because the input is buffered this isn't the
same thing as I<$obj> has closed.  In other words I<$obj> can be
closed but there still can be stuff in the buffer to be read.  Under
this condition you can still read but you won't be able to write.

=back

=over 4

=item B<errmode> - define action to be performed on error

$mode = $obj->errmode;

$prev = $obj->errmode($mode);

This method gets or sets the action used when errors are encountered
using the object.  The first calling sequence returns the current
error mode.  The second calling sequence sets it to I<$mode> and
returns the previous mode.  Valid values for I<$mode> are C<"die">
(the default), C<"return">, a I<coderef>, or an I<arrayref>.

When mode is C<"die"> and an error is encountered using the object,
then an error message is printed to standard error and the program
dies.

When mode is C<"return"> then the method generating the error places
an error message in the object and returns an undefined value in a
scalar context and an empty list in list context.  The error message
may be obtained using C<errmsg()>.

When mode is a I<coderef>, then when an error is encountered
I<coderef> is called with the error message as its first argument.
Using this mode you may have your own subroutine handle errors.  If
I<coderef> itself returns then the method generating the error returns
undefined or an empty list depending on context.

When mode is an I<arrayref>, the first element of the array must be a
I<coderef>.  Any elements that follow are the arguments to I<coderef>.
When an error is encountered, the I<coderef> is called with its
arguments.  Using this mode you may have your own subroutine handle
errors.  If the I<coderef> itself returns then the method generating
the error returns undefined or an empty list depending on context.

A warning is printed to STDERR when attempting to set this attribute
to something that is not C<"die">, C<"return">, a I<coderef>, or an
I<arrayref> whose first element isn't a I<coderef>.

=back

=over 4

=item B<errmsg> - most recent error message

$msg = $obj->errmsg;

$prev = $obj->errmsg(@msgs);

The first calling sequence returns the error message associated with
the object.  The empty string is returned if no error has been
encountered yet.  The second calling sequence sets the error message
for the object to the concatenation of I<@msgs> and returns the
previous error message.  Normally, error messages are set internally
by a method when an error is encountered.

=back

=over 4

=item B<error> - perform the error mode action

$obj->error(@msgs);

This method concatenates I<@msgs> into a string and places it in the
object as the error message.  Also see C<errmsg()>.  It then performs
the error mode action.  Also see C<errmode()>.

If the error mode doesn't cause the program to die, then an undefined
value or an empty list is returned depending on the context.

This method is primarily used by this class or a sub-class to perform
the user requested action when an error is encountered.

=back

=over 4

=item B<family> - IP address family for remote host

$family = $obj->family;

$prev   = $obj->family($family);

This method designates which IP address family C<host()> refers to,
i.e. IPv4 or IPv6.  IPv6 support is available when using perl 5.14 or
later.  With no argument it returns the current value set in the
object.  With an argument it sets the current address family to
I<$family> and returns the previous address family.  Valid values are
C<"ipv4">, C<"ipv6">, or C<"any">.  When C<"any">, the C<host()> can
be a hostname or IP address for either IPv4 or IPv6.  After
connecting, you can use C<sockfamily()> to determine which IP address
family was used.

The default value is C<"ipv4">.

The error mode action is performed when attempting to set this
attribute to something that isn't C<"ipv4">, C<"ipv6">, or C<"any">.
It is also performed when attempting to set it to C<"ipv6"> when the
Socket module is less than version 1.94 or IPv6 is not supported in
the OS as indicated by Socket::AF_INET6 not being defined.

=back

=over 4

=item B<fhopen> - use already open filehandle for I/O

$ok = $obj->fhopen($fh);

This method associates the open filehandle I<$fh> with I<$obj> for
further I/O.  Filehandle I<$fh> must already be opened.

Suppose you want to use the features of this module to do I/O to
something other than a TCP port, for example STDIN or a filehandle
opened to read from a process.  Instead of opening the object for I/O
to a TCP port by using C<open()> or C<new()>, call this method
instead.

The value C<1> is returned success, the error mode action is performed
on failure.

=back

=over 4

=item B<get> - read block of data

$data = $obj->get([Binmode    => $mode,]
                      [Errmode    => $errmode,]
                      [Telnetmode => $mode,]
                      [Timeout    => $secs,]);

This method reads a block of data from the object and returns it along
with any buffered data.  If no buffered data is available to return,
it will wait for data to read using the timeout specified in the
object.  You can override that timeout using I<$secs>.  Also see
C<timeout()>.  If buffered data is available to return, it also checks
for a block of data that can be immediately read.

On eof an undefined value is returned.  On time-out or other failures,
the error mode action is performed.  To distinguish between eof or an
error occurring when the error mode is not set to C<"die">, use
C<eof()>.

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of binmode, errmode, telnetmode, and timeout.

                          [Timeout    => $secs,]);

This method reads and returns the next line of data from the object.
You can use C<input_record_separator()> to change the notion of what
separates a line.  The default is C<"\n">.  If a line isn't
immediately available, this method blocks waiting for a line or a
time-out.

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of binmode, errmode, input_record_separator, rs, telnetmode,

                            [All        => $boolean,]);

This method reads and returns all the lines of data from the object
until end of file is read.  You can use C<input_record_separator()> to
change the notion of what separates a line.  The default is C<"\n">.
A time-out error occurs if all the lines can't be read within the
time-out interval.  See C<timeout()>.

The behavior of this method was changed in version 3.03.  Prior to
version 3.03 this method returned just the lines available from the
next read.  To get that old behavior, use the optional named parameter
I<All> and set I<$boolean> to C<""> or C<0>.

If only eof is read then an empty list is returned.  On time-out or
other failures, the error mode action is performed.  Use C<eof()> to
distinguish between reading only eof or an error occurring when the
error mode is not set to C<"die">.

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of binmode, errmode, input_record_separator, rs, telnetmode,

=item B<host> - name or IP address of remote host

$host = $obj->host;

$prev = $obj->host($host);

This method designates the remote host for C<open()>.  It is either a
hostname or an IP address.  With no argument it returns the current
value set in the object.  With an argument it sets the current host
name to I<$host> and returns the previous value.  Use C<family()> to
control which IP address family, IPv4 or IPv6, host refers to.

The default value is C<"localhost">.  It may also be set by C<open()>
or C<new()>.

=item B<input_log> - log all input

$fh = $obj->input_log;

$fh = $obj->input_log($fh);

$fh = $obj->input_log($filename);

This method starts or stops logging of input.  This is useful when
debugging.  Also see C<dump_log()>.  Because most command interpreters
echo back commands received, it's likely all your output will also be
in this log.  Note that input logging occurs after newline
translation.  See C<binmode()> for details on newline translation.

If no argument is given, the log filehandle is returned.  A returned
empty string indicates logging is off.

To stop logging, use an empty string as an argument.  The stopped
filehandle is not closed.

=item B<input_record_separator> - input line delimiter

$chars = $obj->input_record_separator;

$prev = $obj->input_record_separator($chars);

This method designates the line delimiter for input.  It's used with
C<getline()>, C<getlines()>, and C<cmd()> to determine lines in the
input.

With no argument this method returns the current input record
separator set in the object.  With an argument it sets the input
record separator to I<$chars> and returns the previous value.  Note
that I<$chars> must have length.

A warning is printed to STDERR when attempting to set this attribute
to a string with no length.

=item B<last_prompt> - last prompt read

$string = $obj->last_prompt;

$prev = $obj->last_prompt($string);

With no argument this method returns the last prompt read by cmd() or
login().  See C<prompt()>.  With an argument it sets the last prompt
read to I<$string> and returns the previous value.  Normally, only
internal methods set the last prompt.

=back

=over 4

=item B<lastline> - last line read

$line = $obj->lastline;

$prev = $obj->lastline($line);

This method retrieves the last line read from the object.  This may be
a useful error message when the remote side abnormally closes the
connection.  Typically the remote side will print an error message
before closing.

With no argument this method returns the last line read from the
object.  With an argument it sets the last line read to I<$line> and
returns the previous value.  Normally, only internal methods set the
last line.

=back

=over 4

=item B<localfamily> - IP address family for local host

$localfamily = $obj->localfamily;

$prev   = $obj->localfamily($family);

This method designates which IP address family C<localhost()> refers
to, i.e. IPv4 or IPv6.  IPv6 support is available when using perl 5.14
or later.  With no argument it returns the current value set in the
object.  With an argument it sets the current local address family to
I<$family> and returns the previous address family.  Valid values
are C<"ipv4">, C<"ipv6">, or C<"any">.  When C<"any">, the
C<localhost()> can be a hostname or IP address for either IPv4 or
IPv6.

The default value is C<"ipv4">.

=back

=over 4

=item B<localhost> - bind local socket to a specific network interface

$localhost = $obj->localhost;

$prev = $obj->localhost($host);

This method designates the local socket IP address for C<open()>.  It
is either a hostname, an IP address, or a null string (i.e. C<"">).  A
null string disables this feature.

Normally the OS picks which local network interface to use.  This
method is useful when the local machine has more than one network
interface and you want to bind to a specific one.  With no argument it
returns the current value set in the object.  With an argument it sets
the current local host name to I<$host> and returns the previous
value.  Use C<localfamily()> to control which IP address family, IPv4
or IPv6, local host refers to.

The default value is C<"">.

=item B<login> - perform standard login

$ok = $obj->login($username, $password);

$ok = $obj->login(Name     => $username,

                      [Errmode => $mode,]
                      [Prompt  => $match,]
                      [Timeout => $secs,]);

This method performs a standard login by waiting for a login prompt
and responding with I<$username>, then waiting for the password prompt
and responding with I<$password>, and then waiting for the command
interpreter prompt.  If any of those prompts sent by the remote side
don't match what's expected, this method will time-out, unless timeout
is turned off.

/login[: ]*$/i
    /username[: ]*$/i

Password prompt must match this case insensitive pattern:

/password[: ]*$/i

The command interpreter prompt must match the current setting of
prompt.  See C<prompt()>.

Use C<dump_log()> to debug when this method keeps timing-out and you
don't think it should.

Consider using a combination of C<print()> and C<waitfor()> as an
alternative to this method when it doesn't do what you want, e.g. the
remote host doesn't prompt for a username.

On success, C<1> is returned.  On time out, eof, or other failures,
the error mode action is performed.  See C<errmode()>.

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of errmode, prompt, and timeout.

=item B<max_buffer_length> - maximum size of input buffer

$len = $obj->max_buffer_length;

$prev = $obj->max_buffer_length($len);

This method designates the maximum size of the input buffer.  An error
is generated when a read causes the buffer to exceed this limit.  The
default value is 1,048,576 bytes (1 MiB).  The input buffer can grow
much larger than the block size when you continuously read using
C<getline()> or C<waitfor()> and the data stream contains no newlines
or matching waitfor patterns.

With no argument, this method returns the current maximum buffer
length set in the object.  With an argument it sets the maximum buffer
length to I<$len> and returns the previous value.  Values of I<$len>
smaller than 512 will be adjusted to 512.

A warning is printed to STDERR when attempting to set this attribute
to something that isn't a positive integer.

                     [Localhost   => $host,]
                     [Localfamily => $family,]);

This method opens a TCP connection to I<$port> on I<$host> for the IP
address I<$family>.  If any of those arguments are missing then the
current attribute value for the object is used.  Specifing I<Host>
sets that attribute for the object.  Specifing any of the other
optional named parameters overrides the current setting.

The default IP address family is C<"ipv4">.  I<$family> may be set to
C<"ipv4">, C<"ipv6">, or C<"any">.  See C<family()> for more details.

I<Localhost> is used to bind to a specific local network interface.

If the object is already open, it is closed before attempting a
connection.

On success C<1> is returned.  On time-out or other connection
failures, the error mode action is performed.  See C<errmode()>.

Time-outs don't work for this method on machines that don't implement
SIGALRM - most notably MS-Windows machines.  For those machines, an
error is returned when the system reaches its own time-out while
trying to connect.

A side effect of this method is to reset the alarm interval associated
with SIGALRM.

                              [Wont => $telopt,]);

This method is used to indicate whether to accept or reject an offer
to enable a TELNET option made by the remote side.  If you're using
I<Do> or I<Will> to indicate a willingness to enable, then a
notification callback must have already been defined by a prior call
to C<option_callback()>.  See C<option_callback()> for details on
receiving enable/disable notification of a TELNET option.

You can give multiple I<Do>, I<Dont>, I<Will>, or I<Wont> arguments
for different TELNET options in the same call to this method.

The following example describes the meaning of the named parameters.
A TELNET option, such as C<TELOPT_ECHO> used below, is an integer
constant that you can import from Net::Telnet.  See the source in file

=item B<option_callback> - define the option negotiation callback

$coderef = $obj->option_callback;

$prev = $obj->option_callback($coderef);

This method defines the callback subroutine that is called when a
TELNET option is enabled or disabled.  Once defined, the
I<option_callback> may not be undefined.  However, calling this method
with a different I<$coderef> changes it.

A warning is printed to STDERR when attempting to set this attribute
to something that isn't a coderef.

Here are the circumstances that invoke I<$coderef>:

=over 4

=item

An option becomes enabled because the remote side requested an enable
and C<option_accept()> had been used to arrange that it be accepted.

=item

The remote side arbitrarily decides to disable an option that is
currently enabled.  Note that Net::Telnet always accepts a request to
disable from the remote side.

=item

C<option_send()> was used to send a request to enable or disable an
option and the response from the remote side has just been received.
Note, that if a request to enable is rejected then I<$coderef> is
still invoked even though the option didn't change.

C<option_send()> or you arrange to accept option requests from the
remote side via C<option_accept()>.  Also see C<dump_log()>.

If no argument is given, the log filehandle is returned.  An empty

=item B<output_field_separator> - field separator for print

$chars = $obj->output_field_separator;

$prev = $obj->output_field_separator($chars);

This method designates the output field separator for C<print()>.
Ordinarily the print method simply prints out the comma separated
fields you specify.  Set this to specify what's printed between
fields.

With no argument this method returns the current output field
separator set in the object.  With an argument it sets the output
field separator to I<$chars> and returns the previous value.

By default it's set to an empty string.

=over 4

=item B<output_log> - log all output

$fh = $obj->output_log;

$fh = $obj->output_log($fh);

$fh = $obj->output_log($filename);

This method starts or stops logging of output.  This is useful when
debugging.  Also see C<dump_log()>.  Because most command interpreters
echo back commands received, it's likely all your output would also be
in an input log.  See C<input_log()>.  Note that output logging occurs
before newline translation.  See C<binmode()> for details on newline
translation.

If no argument is given, the log filehandle is returned.  A returned
empty string indicates logging is off.

To stop logging, use an empty string as an argument.  The stopped
filehandle is not closed.

=over 4

=item B<output_record_separator> - output line delimiter

$chars = $obj->output_record_separator;

$prev = $obj->output_record_separator($chars);

This method designates the output line delimiter for C<print()> and
C<cmd()>.  Set this to specify what's printed at the end of C<print()>
and C<cmd()>.

The output record separator is set to C<"\n"> by default, so there's
no need to append all your commands with a newline.  To avoid printing
the output_record_separator use C<put()> or set the
output_record_separator to an empty string.

With no argument this method returns the current output record
separator set in the object.  With an argument it sets the output
record separator to I<$chars> and returns the previous value.

=item B<peerhost> - IP address of the other end of the socket connection

$ipaddr = $obj->peerhost;

This method returns a string which is the IPv4 or IPv6 address the
remote socket is bound to (i.e. it is the IP address of C<host()>).
It returns C<""> when not connected.

=back

=over 4

=item B<peerport> - TCP port of the other end of the socket connection

$port = $obj->peerport;

This method returns the port number which the remote socket is bound
to.  It is the same as the C<port()> number when connected.  It
returns C<""> when not connected.

=back

=over 4

=item B<port> - remote port

$port = $obj->port;

$prev = $obj->port($port);

This method designates the remote TCP port for C<open()>.  With no
argument this method returns the current port number.  With an
argument it sets the current port number to I<$port> and returns the
previous port.  If I<$port> is a TCP service name, then it's first
converted to a port number using the perl function C<getservbyname()>.

The default value is C<23>.

The error mode action is performed when attempting to set this
attribute to something that is not a positive integer or a valid TCP
service name.

=back

=over 4

=item B<print> - write to object

$ok = $obj->print(@list);

This method writes I<@list> followed by the I<output_record_separator>
to the open object and returns C<1> if all data was successfully
written.  On time-out or other failures, the error mode action is
performed.  See C<errmode()>.

By default, the C<output_record_separator()> is set to C<"\n"> so all
your commands automatically end with a newline.  In most cases your
output is being read by a command interpreter which won't accept a
command until newline is read.  This is similar to someone typing a
command and hitting the return key.  To avoid printing a trailing
C<"\n"> use C<put()> instead or set the output_record_separator to an
empty string.

On failure, it's possible that some data was written.  If you choose
to try and recover from a print timing-out, use C<print_length()> to
determine how much was written before the error occurred.

You may also use the output field separator to print a string between
the list elements.  See C<output_field_separator()>.

=back

=item B<prompt> - pattern to match a prompt

$matchop = $obj->prompt;

$prev = $obj->prompt($matchop);

This method sets the pattern used to find a prompt in the input
stream.  It must be a string representing a valid perl pattern match
operator.  The methods C<login()> and C<cmd()> try to read until
matching the prompt.  They will fail with a time-out error if the
pattern you've chosen doesn't match what the remote side sends.

With no argument this method returns the prompt set in the object.
With an argument it sets the prompt to I<$matchop> and returns the
previous value.

The default prompt is C<'/[\$%#E<gt>] $/'>

Always use single quotes, instead of double quotes, to construct
I<$matchop> (e.g. C<'/bash\$ $/'>).  If you're constructing a DOS like
file path, you'll need to use four backslashes to represent one
(e.g. C<'/c:\\\\users\\\\billE<gt>$/i'>).

The error mode action is performed when attempting to set this
attribute with a match operator missing its opening delimiter.

                    [Telnetmode => $mode,]
                    [Timeout    => $secs,]);

This method writes I<$string> to the opened object and returns C<1> if
all data was successfully written.  This method is like C<print()>
except that it doesn't write the trailing output_record_separator
("\n" by default).  On time-out or other failures, the error mode
action is performed.  See C<errmode()>.

On failure, it's possible that some data was written.  If you choose
to try and recover from a put timing-out, use C<print_length()> to
determine how much was written before the error occurred.

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of binmode, errmode, telnetmode, and timeout.

=item B<sockfamily> - IP address family of connected local socket

$sockfamily = $obj->sockfamily;

This method returns which IP address family C<open()> used to

=item B<telnetmode> - turn off/on telnet command interpretation

$mode = $obj->telnetmode;

$prev = $obj->telnetmode($mode);

This method controls whether or not TELNET commands in the data stream
are recognized and handled.  The TELNET protocol uses certain
character sequences sent in the data stream to control the session.
If the port you're connecting to isn't using the TELNET protocol, then
you should turn this mode off.  The default is I<on>.

If no argument is given, the current mode is returned.

If I<$mode> is C<0> then telnet mode is off.  If I<$mode> is C<1> then
telnet mode is on.

=back

=over 4

=item B<timed_out> - time-out indicator

$boolean = $obj->timed_out;

$prev = $obj->timed_out($boolean);

This method indicates if a previous read, write, or open method
timed-out.  Remember that timing-out is itself an error.  To be able
to invoke C<timed_out()> after a time-out error, you'd have to change
the default error mode to something other than C<"die">.  See
C<errmode()>.

With no argument this method returns C<1> if the previous method
timed-out.  With an argument it sets the indicator.  Normally, only
internal methods set this indicator.

=item B<timeout> - I/O time-out interval

$secs = $obj->timeout;

$prev = $obj->timeout($secs);

This method sets the timeout interval used when performing I/O
or connecting to a port.  When a method doesn't complete within the
timeout interval then it's an error and the error mode action is
performed.

A timeout may be expressed as a relative or absolute value.  If
I<$secs> is greater than or equal to the time the program started, as
determined by $^T, then it's an absolute time value for when time-out
occurs.  The perl function C<time()> may be used to obtain an absolute
time value.  For a relative time-out value less than $^T, time-out
happens I<$secs> from when the method begins.

If I<$secs> is C<0> then time-out occurs if the data cannot be
immediately read or written.  Use the undefined value to turn off
timing-out completely.

With no argument this method returns the timeout set in the object.
With an argument it sets the timeout to I<$secs> and returns the
previous value.  The default timeout value is C<10> seconds.

A warning is printed to STDERR when attempting to set this attribute
to something that is not an C<undef> or a non-negative integer.

$ok = $obj->waitfor($matchop);
    $ok = $obj->waitfor([Match      => $matchop,]
                        [String     => $string,]
                        [Binmode    => $mode,]
                        [Errmode    => $errmode,]
                        [Telnetmode => $mode,]
                        [Timeout    => $secs,]);

($prematch, $match) = $obj->waitfor($matchop);
    ($prematch, $match) = $obj->waitfor([Match      => $matchop,]
                                        [String     => $string,]
                                        [Binmode    => $mode,]

                                        [Telnetmode => $mode,]
                                        [Timeout    => $secs,]);

This method reads until a pattern match or string is found in the
input stream.  All the characters before and including the match are
removed from the input stream.

In a list context the characters before the match and the matched
characters are returned in I<$prematch> and I<$match>.  In a scalar
context, the matched characters and all characters before it are
discarded and C<1> is returned on success.  On time-out, eof, or other
failures, for both list and scalar context, the error mode action is
performed.  See C<errmode()>.

You can specify more than one pattern or string by simply providing
multiple I<Match> and/or I<String> named parameters.  A I<$matchop>
must be a string representing a valid Perl pattern match operator.
The I<$string> is just a substring to find in the input stream.

Use C<dump_log()> to debug when this method keeps timing-out and you
don't think it should.

An optional named parameter is provided to override the current
setting of timeout.

To avoid unexpected backslash interpretation, always use single quotes
instead of double quotes to construct a match operator argument for
C<prompt()> and C<waitfor()> (e.g. C<'/bash\$ $/'>).  If you're
constructing a DOS like file path, you'll need to use four backslashes
to represent one (e.g. C<'/c:\\\\users\\\\billE<gt>$/i'>).

Optional named parameters are provided to override the current
settings of binmode, errmode, telnetmode, and timeout.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Setting C<prompt()> to match a user's shell prompt can be tricky.
This example logs in without knowing the shell prompt and then sets it
to match C<prompt()>.  It requires /usr/bin/env and /bin/sh on the
remote host.

my $host = 'your_destination_host_here';
    my $user = 'your_username_here';
    my $passwd = 'your_password_here';
    my ($t, @output);

## Create a Net::Telnet object.
    use Net::Telnet ();
    $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout  => 10);

## Connect and login.
    $t->open($host);

$t->waitfor('/login: ?$/i');
    $t->print($user);

$t->waitfor('/password: ?$/i');
    $t->print($passwd);

## Switch to a known shell, using a known prompt.
    $t->prompt('/<xPROMPTx> $/');
    $t->errmode("return");

$t->cmd("exec /usr/bin/env 'PS1=<xPROMPTx> ' /bin/sh -i")
        or die "login failed to remote host $host";

$t->errmode("die");

## Now you can do cmd() to your heart's content.
    @output = $t->cmd("uname -a");
    print @output;

exit;

Usually you want the remote TERM environment variable to be
set to something like "dumb" so you don't read escape
sequences meant to be interpreted by a display terminal.  It
is best to set it via C<cmd()>, or via C<waitfor()> and
C<print()>.  It is also possible to negotiate the terminal
type via telnet.  Here is how to do that.

## Module import.
    use Net::Telnet qw(TELNET_IAC TELNET_SB TELNET_SE TELOPT_TTYPE);

## Global variables.
    my $Term;

## Main program.
    {
        my $host = "your_destination_host_here";
        my $user = "your_username_here";
        my $passwd = "your_password_here";
        my $prompt = '/bash\$ $/';  # your regexp for shell prompt here
        my $t;

$t = new Net::Telnet (Prompt => $prompt);

## Set up callbacks to negotiate terminal type.
        $t->option_callback(sub {});
        $t->suboption_callback(\&subopt_callback);
        $t->option_accept(Do => TELOPT_TTYPE);

## Login and print value of TERM.
        $Term = "dumb";
        $t->open($host);
        $t->login($user, $passwd);
        print $t->cmd('hostname');
        print "TERM=", $t->cmd('echo $TERM');
        $t->close;

exit;
    } # end main program

sub subopt_callback {
        my ($t, $option, $parameters) = @_;
        my $telcmd;

if ($option == TELOPT_TTYPE) {
            $telcmd = pack("C4 A* C2", TELNET_IAC, TELNET_SB, TELOPT_TTYPE, 0,
                           $Term, TELNET_IAC, TELNET_SE);
            $t->put(String => $telcmd,
                    Telnetmode => 0);
        }

1;
    } # end sub subopt_callback

You can also use Net::Telnet to interact with local programs.  This
example changes a user's login password.  It introduces the C<spawn()>
subroutine to start a program and associate a filehandle with its
standard I/O.  Because the passwd program always prompts for passwords
on its controlling terminal, the IO::Pty module is used to create a
new pseudo terminal for use by passwd.  The Net::Telnet object reads
and writes to that pseudo terminal.  To use the code below, substitute
"changeme" with the actual old and new passwords.

## Main program.
{
    my ($pty, $passwd);
    my $oldpw = "changeme";
    my $newpw = "changeme";

## Start passwd program.
    $pty = spawn("passwd");

## Create a Net::Telnet object to perform I/O on passwd's tty.
    use Net::Telnet;
    $passwd = new Net::Telnet (-fhopen => $pty,
                               -timeout => 2,
                               -output_record_separator => "\r",
                               -telnetmode => 0,
                               -cmd_remove_mode => 1);
    $passwd->errmode("return");

## Send existing password.
    $passwd->waitfor('/password: ?$/i')
        or die "no old password prompt: ", $passwd->lastline;
    $passwd->print($oldpw);

## Send new password.
    $passwd->waitfor('/new (\w+\s)?password: ?$/i')
        or die "bad old password: ", $passwd->lastline;
    $passwd->print($newpw);

## Send new password verification.
    $passwd->waitfor('/new (\w+\s)?password: ?$/i')
        or die "bad new password: ", $passwd->lastline;
    $passwd->print($newpw);

## Display success or failure.
    $passwd->waitfor('/(changed|updated)/')
        or die "bad new password: ", $passwd->lastline;
    print $passwd->lastline;

$passwd->close;
    exit;
} # end main program

sub spawn {
    my (@cmd) = @_;
    my ($pid, $pty, $tty, $tty_fd);

## Create a new pseudo terminal.
    use IO::Pty ();
    $pty = new IO::Pty
        or die $!;

## Execute the program in another process.
    unless ($pid = fork) {  # child process
        die "problem spawning program: $!\n" unless defined $pid;

## Disassociate process from its controlling terminal.
        use POSIX ();
        POSIX::setsid()
            or die "setsid failed: $!";

## Associate process with a new controlling terminal.
        $pty->make_slave_controlling_terminal;
        $tty = $pty->slave;
        $tty_fd = $tty->fileno;
        close $pty;

## Make standard I/O use the new controlling terminal.
        open STDIN, "<&$tty_fd" or die $!;
        open STDOUT, ">&$tty_fd" or die $!;
        open STDERR, ">&STDOUT" or die $!;
        close $tty;

## Execute requested program.
        exec @cmd
            or die "problem executing $cmd[0]\n";
    } # end child process

$pty;
} # end sub spawn

Here is an example that uses the openssh program to connect to a
remote host.  It uses the C<spawn()> subroutine, from the password
changing example above, to start the ssh program and then read and
write to it via a Net::Telnet object.  This example turns off ssh host
key checking, which reduces your ability to know when someone on the
network is impersonating the remote host.  To use the code below,
substitute "changeme" with the actual host, user, password, and
command prompt.

## Main program.
    {
        my $host = "changeme";
        my $user = "changeme";
        my $passwd = "changeme";
        my $prompt = '/changeme\$ $/';
        my ($buf, $match, $pty, $ssh, @lines);

## Start ssh program.
        $pty = spawn("ssh",
                     "-l", $user,
                     "-e", "none",
                     "-F", "/dev/null",
                     "-o", "PreferredAuthentications=password",
                     "-o", "NumberOfPasswordPrompts=1",
                     "-o", "StrictHostKeyChecking=no",
                     "-o", "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null",
                     $host);

## Create a Net::Telnet object to perform I/O on ssh's tty.
        use Net::Telnet;
        $ssh = new Net::Telnet (-fhopen => $pty,
                                -prompt => $prompt,
                                -telnetmode => 0,
                                -output_record_separator => "\r",
                                -cmd_remove_mode => 1);

## Wait for the password prompt and send password.
        $ssh->waitfor(-match => '/password: ?$/i',
                      -errmode => "return")
            or die "problem connecting to \"$host\": ", $ssh->lastline;
        $ssh->print($passwd);

## Wait for the shell prompt.
        (undef, $match) = $ssh->waitfor(-match => $ssh->prompt,
                                        -match => '/^Permission denied/m',
                                        -errmode => "return")
            or return $ssh->error("login failed: expected shell prompt ",
                                  "doesn't match actual\n");
        return $ssh->error("login failed: bad login-name or password\n")
            if $match =~ /^Permission denied/m;

## Run commands on remote host.
        print $ssh->cmd("hostname");
        print $ssh->cmd("uptime");

$ssh->close;
        exit;
    } # end main program

Some shells have a rather restrictive 255 character line limit.  If
you run into this problem, here is an example for sending lines longer
than 254 as a sequence of shorter lines.

use Net::Telnet ();
        my $t = new Net::Telnet (-prompt => $prompt);
        $t->open($host);
        $t->login($user, $passwd);

my @output = cmd_unixlong($t, $cmd);
