Re: Alternative to Expect for Activestate Perl on Windows ?

Strawberry Perl would probably be a good alternative to Activestate, but I suppose you'd have as much trouble installing that as you would Cygwin.

Strawberry doesn't help because it still asks for IO::Tty. Cygwin should be a good try according to the Expect documentation. `cpan> install IO::Tty Running install for module 'IO::Tty' Running make for T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.10.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\PERL\cpan\build\IO-Tty- +1.10-MfKyq R Could not make: Unknown error Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible cpan>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
