Hi, I am using Net::SSH::Expect as root and am trying to run a script on a different user. This script among other things is reading a password using Term::ReadPassword --> read_password , which uses : 
.
.
my($in, $out) = Term::ReadLine->findConsole;
    die "No console available" unless $in;
    if (open TTY, "+<$in") {
        # Cool
    } elsif ($ALLOW_STDIN) {
        open TTY, "<&STDIN"
        or die "Can't re-open STDIN: $!";
    } else {
        die "Can't open '$in' read/write: $!";
    }
.
.

Among others… I am stating this as I think this is relevant to the problem. My script is able to run the other users script but when I try to enter the password using : 
$exp->send($password);

The password is printed to the screen but the other script does not seem to receive it. Any idea of the problem or how to get around it?
