Telnet from windows to an arm32 processor

[nbufkin]

I am trying to connect via telnet from a windows 2000 machine to a
arm32 processor using perl. The example scripts provided by this group
are similiar to the following:

use Net::Telnet ();
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
$t->open("sparky");
$t->login($username, $passwd);
@lines = $t->cmd("who");
print @lines;

The device I am connecting to does not require a username and password,
so I have modified the script to look like this:

use Net::Telnet ();
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
Prompt => '->');
$t->open("10.1.4.2");
@lines = $t->cmd("i");
print @lines;

The script return with the following error message:

"bad match operator: opening delimiter missing: -> at try3 line 2"

The script always fails at the prompt line. Does the Net::Telnet
object require a username and password?

compare:

Prompt => '/bash\$ $/';

and...

Prompt => '->';

the first one looks like: '/something/'
and yours looks like 'something'
