skely has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Folks, I basically need to automate a command-line program which interacts with the user quite extensively on Windows Platform. I am using ActiveState Perl, and hence cannot use IO::Expect (which supports only cygwin Perl). I have read about IO::React Module, but cannot find any other examples(other than the standard telnet -> ls example). It woudld great if someone could post any example of how to use IO::React on Windows.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Why is that example insufficient?
[reply]
      the example is insufficient because it uses proc::spawn for initiating a telnet session.but proc::spawn is not supported by windows. i even require an example for spawning a command prompt and executing some commands. Also i need info regarding alternate method to expect method in Expect.pm
