The following Perl code works in a batch job:

#!/PERL/PUB/perl

$username = 'youruser';
$passwd = 'yourpass';

use Net::Telnet ();
$t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                      Prompt => '/\]\$ $/');
$t->open("yourhost");
$t->login($username, $passwd);
@lines = $t->cmd("/usr/bin/who");
print @lines;

For more info about Net::Telnet (which I have bundled into Perl/iX 5.6.0),
please see:
