Hey all, sorry for being a bit off topic, but with this community being pretty well rounded, I figured I would have a decent shot at finding a pointer or two.

So, over the period of 10 years or so, I've been developing a suite of Perl driven Expect scripts used to backup various vendors' routers, switches, firewalls, etc. I've managed to hone them to the point where, they're what I would consider at least beginning to be worthy of "enterprise" type status.

So, I went off googling last week to find, well, something. An expect community, a loose collection of expect scripts at sourceforge, blogs that had lots of expect posts, maybe some decent examples of resilient or at least some error checking expect scripts, and essentially found nothing. Sure, I found a few mentions of expect, there's the "repository" of example scripts that comes with expect. There are a few scripts to be found dealing with backing up cisco devices, but they are very simplistic. Blech.

Can anyone out there point me toward any sites/people/repositories/blogs that deal with more advanced expect scripts?
