Objective: When we are executing our Perl script by using Autosys tool (Job Scheduling tool). It is not able to recognise Expect.pm which I used in my Perl code. And I am getting the below error. Can't call method "expect" on an undefined value at /xxxx/bin/run_EMCTSftpPutEclerxFile.pl line 18. Expect is not working go But when I am executing it manually It works flawlesly. Pl. find my Perl script below: 1 #!/opt/perl/5.8.0/bin/perl 2 #ident "%W%" 3 4 use Expect; 5 6 $xxxx_FTP_HOST="xxxxx"; 7 $xxxx_FTP_USER="xxxx"; 8 $xxxx_FTP_PASS="xxxxx"; 9 $xxxxx_FTP_LDIR="/opt/ftp/pub/outgoing"; 10 $xxxxx_FTP_LFILE=$ARGV[0]; 11 $timeout = 10; 12 $command = 'sftp'; 13 14 $params = ("$xxxxxR\@$xxxxX_FTP_HOST"); 15 16 $exp=Expect->spawn($command, $params) or print "Expect is not working go \n"; 17 18 $exp->expect($timeout, "Password:"); 19 20 $exp->send("$Exxxxx_FTP_PASS\n"); 21 22 $exp->expect($timeout, "sftp>"); 23 24 $exp->send("binary\r"); 25 26 $exp->expect($timeout, "sftp>"); 27 28 $exp->send("put $xxxxxX_FTP_LDIR/$xxxxx_FTP_LFILE \n"); 29 30 $exp->expect($timeout, "sftp>"); 31 32 $exp->send("bye\n"); 33 34 $exp->soft_close();
