in reply to Equivalent of spawn_pty in ActivePerl.

Ttys and ptys are *NIX / POSIX creatures, so I'd be very doubtful that there's going to be anything for manipulating them in the Win32 Perl. The only reason Cygwin has them is because it's emulating a more POSIX-y environment. Perhaps something like Net::Telnet would work in its place?

    Well, I am basically trying to write an module similar to IO::React (With changes in Pattern Matching). 1) Invoke a 3rdparth Config Executable in console mode. 2) Read the inputs, analyze them, and provide the necessary values. So, I am looking for a windows equivalent of the below command, my ($pid,$fh)=spawn_pty("3rdparty_config_exec -console"); any thoughts folks?
