Re: Installing Expect.pm and IO

Apologies for offtopic answer ;-)

I've never found a need for Expect yet. Whenever I think, oh I better try out Expect, I do a search through CPAN and find that there is a module which does exactly what I wanted anyway ;-)

What was it that you wanted to drive with Expect?

Expect

Perhaps it's because when people come to Perl from other languages, they're already conditioned to have to "roll their own". The CPAN is a fairly interesting advantage in the Perl community, and too many of us take it for granted. As I often say in Usenet posts:

The CPAN is your friend. Use the CPAN!
