Can Kix do this? (Perl\Auto login)

I have about 45 network switches I used to access them manually (Telnet) to extract their active ports and the MAC address for each workstation connected to each port.
When I posted a question About 2 months ago on this board asking about how can I automate the login process to these switches, I received a valuable advice from Lligetfa to use PERL because it has the capability to do such thing.
Unlike SU.exe which used by Kix, I found Perl code does not need any service to be installed on the device which you will connect to it remotely and implement some commands on it.
The following Perl code login to one of these switches and implement the commands (remotely) which I used to implement manually.
use Net::Telnet;
my $Telnet = new Net::Telnet;
my $prmpt = '/[\w().-]*[\$#>:.]\s?(?:\(enable\))?\s*$/';
$telnet = new Net::Telnet ( Timeout=>20, Prompt => $prmpt, Errmode=>'die');
$telnet->open('XX.XXX.XXX.XXX');
$telnet->login('user Id','Password');
@lines= $telnet->cmd("Networking");
@lines= $telnet->cmd("IP");
@lines= $telnet->cmd("ipmac");
print STDOUT @lines;
$telnet->close;
Frankly speaking I have been using Kix for about 3 years and I like it too much and I hope if there is any Kix code or function that can do the same thing for me. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
Note: I am still facing some problem with the previous Perl code where in some cases give error message “timed-out waiting for command prompt---“ and I am working on solve it.

Gentlemen
Thanks a lot for support and please excuse me if I wasn’t clear in what I want.
What I am looking for is some Kix function like:
Login ($Server name, $User name, $Password).
And then implement any command on that server under the new user name and password.
That is why I mentioned Su.exe because it allows you to switch from user without admin to user with admin privilege and then implement any command under the new account.
Perl\Telnet do the same thing:
$telnet->open('XX.XXX.XXX.XXX');
$telnet->login('user Id','Password');
but as I mentioned that I am facing a problem with this code and I hope to replace with any thing from Kix.
Thank you.

Thanks for support. I did not use ftp or web in this, I will explain to you what I used to do manually to get the result what I want.
I access the switch from DOS
D:\>telnet XX.XXX.XXX.XXX
“Then I got the following screen”

The simplest way of achieving what you want is to use a telnet package which includes a script language.
There are dozens of commercial offerings, or you could try IVT which is freeware and includes scripting.
You will be able to create a script to log in to each of your switches in turn using send/wait semantics and either record the session to a file, or simulate screen prints to a file.
It also happens to be an excellent vt220 emulator.
