perlseeker19 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
i came to know that IO::react can be used as an alternate to Expect on activeperl.
but the sample snippet given in cpan uses proc::spawn to spawn a telnet session.this package is not supported for windows.
i need to send commands to command prompt using io::react.
can you help me in this regard?
Not really.
The non-portable part of Expect is the dependency on IO::Pty.
Proc::Spawn also depends on IO::Pty.
IO::React is just more flexible than Expect,
but it doesn't get around IO::Pty portability problems.
Maybe try Net::Telnet.
