Opening a file to read during telnet in perl

I have a telnet session opened having username and password. I tried to open a file for reading but its giving me an error saying “No such file or directory” whereas i confirmed that file is there in the path by print command. Can we open a file to read during telnet session? or how can i open a file during telnet session? Please help. Here is my code and the file is ab.txt


use Net::Telnet;
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => undef, Dump_log=>"dump.log");
$username="sqa";
$password="4q2013";
$t->open("xx.xx.xxxx.com");
$t->login($username, $password);
$cmd='cd '.'/projects/74/android-rfs/sys
tem/app';
my $ldir="/projects/74/Android";

ipadd();
print $ip_add=@ipadd[2];
print "Value of \\$t is:$t\
";
@lines=$t->cmd($cmd) or die "Cannot perform cmd:$!";
print @lines;
$t->cmd("cp $nmn.apklist.txt $ldir\
");

$cmd1='cd '.'/projects/74/Android';
@lines1=$t->cmd($cmd1);
print @lines1;
$req_apks="/projects/74/Android/ab.txt";
print "Value of \\$req_apks is: $req_apks\
";
