Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello everybody,

I am trying to connect from hp-ux to win 2003 using perl's Net::Telnet module. Seeing the examples in couple of web sites, I saw I have to declare a Prompt =>

Can somebody please tell me what my regular expression should be? The prompt after I log in is:

...
login: whatever
password:

*===============================================================
Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Server.
*===============================================================
C:\Documents and Settings\whatever>



Also following this example:

use Net::Telnet;
$telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>10,
Errmode=>'die');
$telnet->open('camel.perlfect.com');
$telnet->waitfor('/login: $/i');
...

Can someone tell me should I write after $telnet->waitfor('/login: ? This $/i is matching every input or it also has something to do with the specific prompt? Can you please tell me what should I write in my case?

Thank you in advance!

~whatever

The problem is probably the $. That means end-of-line, but login didn't produce an end of line. Try /\blogin:/.
