[MacPerl] Telnet app?

[Wade Williams <wwilliam@cisco.com>]

Anyone ever created a Telnet app with MacPerl (or Perl)?

That is, I want an app that will log into a host, run some commands, save
the output to a file, and then let perl do some operations on the data.

Is Comm.pl the only way to accomplish this?  Seeing as how comm.pl looks to
be fairly Unix-specific, I'd probably have to run my script on a Unix box.

Or should I just use an expect script to do the Telnet data capture, and
let Perl operate on the captured files?

Any thoughts, observations or experiences greatly appreciated.
