There you go. The dell.pm is looking for 
if (/[>#]\s?exit$/)
but these switches don't put the exit statement on a separate line (or maybe we don't see it because of the ' tr/\015//d;' statement right before the if statement ). In any case, the end of the session looks like:
TCO-CORE>exitConnection to tco-core closed.

So get rid of the $ at the end of the expression, and it works.

Thanks again for your help.
