in reply to how to control xterm with perl

I think you're looking for Expect ..

"links http://www.whatever.com" ?? Did you mean "lynx http://www.whatever.com"? If so, you might be (depending on what you're doing) much better off using WWW::Mechanize instead of lynx/expect...

    'links' is a text based browser very similiar to 'lynx'.

    links was just example (and yes it's text based web browser alike lynx) ... in general i want to take over terminal using perl, Expect looks that it might do the trick, just emerging it , I'll give it a try
