Hi Perl monks. Ok, so, I have a situation. There is a script which needs user input. & I need to automate running of this script. Which means I cannot provide the user inputs as <STDIN>. Expect module is not an option for me as the scripts need to run on Windows. Any suggestions? Here is a sample code. 

  TobeAutomated.pl 
my $count = 0;
while ($count < 2) {
    $count ++;
    print "Question? y/n: ";
    chomp(my $answer = <>);
    print "You said `$answer`\n";
}

I am not allowed to edit the above script. Now I need to automate running the above script. And my answer needs to be "y" followed by "n" I tried `echo y|perl TobeAutomated.pl` This takes care of One user input as "y" . I don't know how to feed in the second input "n" Any leads will be much appreciated !
