I need to trap part of the output from a telnet session into a file and do
some processing to it. I would like to do the processing with Perl.
Is it possible to run telnet interactively from within a Perl-script?
How do I do it?

Actually the telnet need not be interactive, I would settle for a way
to run a fixed script as input to telnet (with usernames and passwords
etc.) if that is possible.

  Any hints or suggestions are welcome.       Thanks for your help.
