Is it possible to do the first part without using a module though? Using unidirectional pipes? :)

    Can I ask why non-standard modules are a problem? They should not be. If you can provide info, we can probably help you get a module into your environment (i.e. non-root access, not sure of how to use modules on Win32, etc).

      Using modules is a problem because i wish to learn the concept behind what i'm doing, not just use someone elses code :)

        To be fair, when you are using Perl, you are using Larry's (and quite a few other talented folks) code :)

        Expect is *very* complicated, if you are a Unix platform and need to have perl talk with an interactive application, there is no shame in using it. If you are dealing with non-interactive processes (i.e. running at the end of a shell pipe), yeah, this would be a good thing to do yourself.
