NAME

Net::CLI::Interact::Transport::Telnet - TELNET based CLI connection

VERSION

version 2.122630

DECRIPTION

This module provides a wrapped instance of a TELNET client for use by Net::CLI::Interact.

INTERFACE

app

On Windows platforms you must download the plink.exe program, and pass its location to the library in this parameter. On other platforms, this defaults to telnet.

runtime_options

Based on the connect_options hash provided to Net::CLI::Interact on construction, selects and formats parameters to provide to app on the command line. Supported attributes:

host (required)

Host name or IP address of the host to which the TELNET application is to connect.

port

Port number on the host which is listening for the TELNET connection. Defaults to 23.

opts

If you want to pass any other options to the Telnet application, then use this option, which should be an array reference.

On Windows platforms, each item on the list will be passed to the plink.exe application, separated by a single space character. On Unix platforms, the Net::Telnet library is used for TELNET connections, so the list can be any options taken by its new() constructor.
