Man that's really weird. Success works pretty good, but failing gracefully is still my bugaboo. I still get the "Sorry" prompt, unless I change the key from a regex to a string match. And even then, if I don't have an actual "die" in the subroutine (that dies as it should), I still get the prompt. I don't really want the program to die, I just want to sever the connection and move on to the next machine, for example.

It makes me wonder if it isn't coming up in some other sort of context or something. I tried adding multiline and global match commands after the regex but Expect didn't like that at all:

Variable "$expect" is not imported at ./test.pl line 28.
    (Did you mean &expect instead?)

Very weird.
