I'm sure it must be possible using Expect.pm, but last time I tried this (a few years ago) I didn't get very far, and it seemed easiest to use Perl to glue a TCL-style expect script and do the post-processing, as in this script which I used to generate a labelled disassembly of one function of a program.

I can't remember now what problems I had with Expect.pm - it may be related to the fact that I learnt TCL before perl, and had used expect extensively in that period.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
