Net::Telnet::Wrapper 0.1 on CPAN
Posted on augustus 14, 2007
Filed Under Net-Telnet-Wrapper, Perl | Leave a Comment
Our first ‘official’ Perl module has been published on CPAN : Net::Telnet::Wrapper.
This module is a wrapper around the existing modules Net::Telnet and Net::Telnet::Cisco, also available on CPAN, and it will help you to automate all your jobs that involve connecting to TCP ports (telnet, POP, HTTP, etc). There’s built-in support for many vendors like Cisco, Nortel, Packeteer but also for automating tasks like verifying POP or SMTP availability, HTTP sites, etc.
Net::Telnet::Wrapper is not a replacement for Net::Telnet but really an extension and it has some add-ons that helps you to do more with less code : automatic logon retries, different connection modes (login, enable, config), easy output handling, better error checking and much more.
