in reply to Expect::Simple help

Well, in your code you are looking for "Password" but your telnet output is "password". I have never used this module, but in general, I look for "assword" when using expect. Aside from being a little funny, it works regardless of the case of the program you are using. Also, just a quick review of the module docs shows that Promt accepts regexes:

Prompt => [ -re => '[pP]assword' ],

    Hmm well for some reason this thing just will not match on the regex.See below the exact output from the telnet session: 

    [root@www1 stephen] 6# telnet myhost.net
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to myhost.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

Enter password:
telnet> quit

    And now my regex for the prompt is written like so:
    Prompt => [ -re => '[eE]nter\s+' ],

    I have no idea why I am not getting a match here now still. Any thoughts on this one?
