how to check a directory exists or not in a remote machine using telnet module	Can't Post

Hi this is the first time i am using telnet module. I want to login to a remote machine and do a series of steps including creating and modifying files and executing some scripts which resides in the remote machine itself. Can any one tell me how to check a directory exists or not in the remote machine using the telnet module...

my code:
========

using Net::Telnet;

$t = new Net::Telnet();
$t->open($remote_system);
$t->login($username, $passwd);

# this doesnot work.
if (-d $my_dir) { print "ready to go"; }

$t->close();

=========

The starting point would be to read the module's documentation to find out how to execute a remote command. Then you need to determine what command you need to execute when not using Perl. In this case, I'd either use the 'file' command or 'ls -l' or the stat command and parse the results.
