This may be an obvious question, but is your perl complete? The error is complaining about FileHandle::autoflush, which should be there via inheritance from IO:Handle. Does the following work, or does it give you the same error? `#!/bin/perl -w use strict; use FileHandle; FileHandle::autoflush STDOUT 1;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Does adding `use FileHandle qw( );` help?	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not sure if what you've provided here, is your entire script. But I think you're going to need to somehow manage the input stream. Which I believe is why you're seeing the error you are. I don't have an example. But I see the pod for Net::SSH::Expect provides quite a few of them. Maybe one of them will get you where you want to be. :) --Chris EDIT Updated external link to be more specific. Yes. What say about me, is true.	[reply]
