I am using the telnet module (Telnet.pm) in order to automate some
unix-sessions.
It works so far great, but during the telnet session I would like to
send the escape character ("Ctrl ]") to the remote system.

Hopefully this is the correct group to post this question.
I am trying to figure out how to anti-alias some of the lines in my pie
