telnet and $LINES

moin, moin,

using Net::Telnet to automate some stuff and am apparently running into a
prob due to screen length or some such.

If I open an xterm and do the stuff by hand it auto prompts for "more" at
the end of the screen. This also happens if I increase or decrease the
size of my xterm, e.g. it works correctly.

When resizing the xterm $LINES changes as appropriate and it works, but
changing $LINES doesn't affect the number of lines scrolled before being
prompted for more.

Anybody know how else this would be done? With Net::Telnet I get 2 lines
per scroll, which is highly inefficient for the number of lines I'm
parsing.

danke,
