Pearl: how would I send router command output to a varaible and a file

[Babar Farooq]

Folks,

I'm trying to execute a command on a router and then storing that output to a variable e.g. $output..I don't know how to do it in Pearl..Any help would be appreciated in this regard.

Thanks

$output=$router->execute($ACommand);

Babar,

How is the script supposed to connect to the router? Serial port? Telnet? HTTP?

Please give us some real information, if you want help.

Cheers

Thanks for the pointer....I've connected to router via telnet....This is what I used to do in TCL, but don't know how would we do in Perl..

set output [$router exec "sh run | inc trap"]

Thanks

I'd recommend the Net::Telnet.pm module. You can find it on CPAN here.

Hopefully that gets you off the ground.
