(don't mind me...just talking to myself here...)
Fixed problem with finicky Telnet device.
Used Net::Telnet instead of Expect.
When webpage spawned CGI script, this time the Telnet session from Net::Telnet did not send back a NAWS packet to the server,(like Expect did) so the login proceeded normally.

net::cli::interact::transport::telnet

Net::CLI::Interact::Transport::Telnet(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		Net::CLI::Interact::Transport::Telnet(3pm)

NAME

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

VERSION

       version 1.121640

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.

       reap
	   Only used on Unix platforms, this installs a signal handler which attempts to reap the "ssh" child process. Pass a true value to enable
	   this feature only if you notice zombie processes are being left behind after use.

COMPOSITION

       See the following for further interface details:
