     1.4 +Net::Telnet allows you to make client connections to a TCP port and do
     1.5 +network I/O, especially to a port using the TELNET protocol.
     1.6 +Simple I/O methods such as print, get, and getline are provided.
     1.7 +More sophisticated interactive features are provided because connecting
     1.8 +to a TELNET port ultimately means communicating with a program designed
     1.9 +for human interaction.
    1.10 +These interactive features include the ability to specify a time-out and
    1.11 +to wait for patterns to appear in the input stream, such as the prompt
    1.12 +from a shell.
    1.13 +IPv6 support is available when using perl 5.14 or later, see family().
    1.14 +
    1.15 +Other reasons to use this module than strictly with a TELNET port are:
    1.16 +
    1.17 +- You're not familiar with sockets and you want a simple way to make
    1.18 +  client connections to TCP services.
    1.19 +- You want to be able to specify your own time-out while connecting,
    1.20 +  reading, or writing.
    1.21 +- You're communicating with an interactive program at the other end of
    1.22 +  some socket or pipe and you want to wait for certain patterns to appear.
