Telnet Script Issues

HI All
Some body wrote to me this Telnet Script :

Code:
#!/opt/perl/bin/perl
$ip       = $ARGV[0];
die ("IP must be passed as an argument. $!\n") unless defined($ip);
use Net::Telnet ();
$handle = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10, Prompt => '/.*(#|>|\))\s*$/');
$handle->open("$ip");
$handle->login("MY_USER","PASSOWRD");
$handle->cmd("terminal length 0");
@lines = $handle->cmd("show cdp neighbor");
print "@lines";
#system("sleep 30");
$handle->cmd(exit);
$handle->close;

This Script telnets a Cisco device and execute a command and prints out the result.
My Issues in this Script are :
1 - I understand all the lines Except this one “ Prompt => '/.*(#|>|\))\s*$/'
I know its function is define the Prompt for cisco router but I need any one explain it for me I mean the syntax .

2 - I downloaded the telnet module from CPAN.org and tried to install it, it gives me an error like this :

Code:
CORE" perlmain.c
(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The -A option is available only with the C/ANSI C pro
duct; ignored.
(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The +Z option is available only with the C/ANSI C pro
duct; ignored.
(Bundled) cc: warning 422: Unknown option "f" ignored.

(Bundled) cc: warning 480: The +Opromote_indirect_calls option is available only

cpp: "/opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.8/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/CORE/perlio.h", line 121: e
rror 4065: Recursion in macro "PerlIO".
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

And when I try to execute the script it gives me this error :

Code:
Can't locate Net/Telnet.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.8/PA-RIS
C1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.8 /opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/PA-RIS
C1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 /opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl /o
pt/perl_32/lib/vendor_perl/5.8.8/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi /opt/perl_32/lib/vendor
_perl/5.8.8 /opt/perl_32/lib/vendor_perl .) at ./t1 line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./t1 line 4.

Last thing may helps you to resolve my issue is I have this version of perl :
Code:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi


Thanks a lot for your help Smilie
