How do I send a password to a command I start with Perl's Expect.pm

$exp->send("string\n");

Of course, you haven't started any commands with Expect, so that's a very odd question to ask.

I'm not allowed to install another module(politics/not rights).

So if I post my code here, you can use it, but if I post on it on CPAN, you can't? That doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you could clarify why you think you can't install a module.

• Because you don't have permission? You don't need special permissions.
• Because you don't want to install it in the system directory? You don't have to install it in the system directory.
• Because you're allergic to the .pm file extension? Rename the .pm files to .pl files.
• Because you're allergic to the CPAN? Have someone copy the module from CPAN for you.
• Because the code isn't in your version control system? Put it in your version control system.
• Because your out of disk space? Get more disk space.

If it's any of the above, address the issue and install Net::SSH::Expect. If not, then maybe it's one of the following:

• Because you can't use external code? Then we can't help you.

These lists are far from exhaustive. If your situation doesn't match, let me know what the situation is.
