The first code set is plain Expect and the second is Perl's version. The foreach loop in Perl's version will only execute the first command. Can you please assist me with converting the plain Expect code to Perl's version? 
foreach table $tables {
    set timeout 3600
    expect {
        ">" { sleep 1; send "TABLE $table; FORMAT 132 PACK\r" }
        timeout { errmsg "TABLE COMMAND PROMPT NOT FOUND FOR $table" }
    }
    expect {
        "COMMAND DISALLOWED DURING DUMP" { errmsg "TABLE: $table - DUM
+P IN PROGR
ESS" }
        "Directory is full" { errmsg "TABLE: $table - DIRECTORY IS FUL
+L" }
        "UNKNOWN TABLE" { sleep 1; send "abort\r"; continue }
        "TABLE: $table" { send "" }
        timeout { errmsg "TABLE NAME NOT FOUND FOR $table" }
    }
    expect {
        "The first column" { sleep 1; send "LIS ALL\r" }
        timeout { errmsg "FIRST COLUMN NOT FOUND FOR $table" }
    }
    expect {
        "EMPTY TABLE" { sleep 1; continue }
        "TOP" { send "" }
        timeout { errmsg "TOP NOT FOUND FOR $table" }
    }
    expect {
        "BOTTOM" { sleep 1; send "quit all\r" }
        timeout { errmsg "BOTTOM NOT FOUND FOR $table" }
    }
}
