Expect.pm v1.09 Expect requires IO::Tty and IO::Stty, also available from CPAN. There is a Bundle::Expect available that installs everything for you. If you prefer manual installation, the usual perl Makefile.PL make make install should work. I haven't implemented a make test for either IO::Stty or Expect. It would probably be wise to read the docs on IO::Tty before doing a make install with it. The Expect for Perl module was inspired more by the functionality the Tcl tool provides than any previous Expect-like tool such as Comm.pl or chat2.pl. The Tcl version of expect is a creation of Don Libes (libes@nist.gov). The Tcl Expect home page is http://expect.nist.gov/. Don has written an excellent in-depth tutorial of the Tcl Expect, which is _Exploring Expect_. It is the O'reilly book with the monkey on the front. Don has several references to other articles on the Expect web page. Please note: I just took over this module and added new functionality that isn't documented anywhere (well, there are some sentences added to the .pods, but they aren't that helpful). That will change in the next few weeks, expect some more documentation then. I already started a new FAQ (Expect_FAQ.pod), so please let me know if there's something you'd like to see answered there that isn't. Please also check the old FAQ and tutorial directory. Thanks, Roland Giersig (new module maintainer) RGiersig@cpan.org 2000-11-21
