All the module allows you to do is open up a telnet session and interact with it. So yes, you can store the return value of a command into a variable like this:
my $host = $t->cmd(String => 'hostname', Prompt => '/\$ $/') I'm not sure what you mean by sending/read data at the sime time. I am thinking that you can't do that, at least not the way you want. You could always open up two telnet sessions if you needed to, but you would need to have two seperate processes (fork) and then have the processes talk to one another.
