Hi, I am a newbie to the perl world. kindly help me with solution to solve my issue. Scenario: I am trying to login into localhost and want to print "pwd" command which is not working. Note/FYI: I have used "/bin/pwd" instead of "pwd" also. I am not able to get the output. Kindly help on this. Script is as below. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Expect;

$user = "root";
$pass = "redhat";
$hostname = "localhost";
$comm = "pwd";
$Expect::Log_Stdout = 1;
$match = '# ';

$session=Expect->spawn("ssh $user\@$hostname")
    or die "Error calling external program:  $!\n";
$session->log_file( 'output.txt' );

unless($session->expect(1,"password: ")) {};
$session->send("$pass\n");

unless ($session->expect(1,'-re', $match)){print "\nNOT FOUND...\n"};
$session->send("$comm\r");
$session->log_file( 'output.txt' );
