Wise Monks
This is the second time I have put this question on this list and I have put it on other perl lists.
Nobody has replied to my question on any list.
Does anybody have this knowledge??
In regular (tcl) expect the following code waits for the user to enter a password followed by enter and then returns to the script:
expect "Password:"
#ask user for password and then return to script
interact -nobuffer -re "(.*)\r" return

I am having problems writing this in perl expect. I used the following:
$session->expect(60, -re, "Password:");
$session->interact(\*STDIN, "\r");

[download]
.. but this does not seem to work. I just get another login request like the inputted password is not going to the telnet login. Am I missing something? Can anyone offer any suggestions?
