in reply to Installing Net::SCP::Expect - it can't find/install Expect

Net::SCP::Expect was last released over 10 years ago... nowadays, for *NIX systems, I can very much recommend Net::OpenSSH.

Also, although using the regular CPAN client like you showed is fine, I think App::cpanminus (cpanm) is also nicer.
