in reply to Eclipse and PERL

Hi RaduH,

Unfortunately, Expect won't work on Windows. (At least I don't know of anyone having managed to get it to work on Windows.)

Expect may work on Cygwin ... if you like to install Cygwin on your Win2000 box. But you would then also need to follow the correct module installation procedure as others have indicated. See perldoc perlmodinstall.

Cheers,
Rob

    I am using the Windows box only for UI purposes. The files are on a drive mapped off of a Unix machine and I run the software on that Unix box. I use Eclipse only as IDE and have a separate ssh session to that Unix machine where I execute my scripts at the command line.
    Thanks for all your advices. It seems to be a bit more complicated than I thought. I'll investigate your suggestions.
