perl - How to send a password with special characters by using Expect module? -

i have big problem special characters of perl.

i'm trying establish telnet connection.

so, after command "telnet $ipaddress" have send credentials.

i have done way:

my $exp = new expect;  $exp->send("username"); $exp->send("@password");

the problem password has @ character first character , special character.

i have tried '@password', "\@password" or "\\@password", login fails.
