Re^4: Having trouble installing Module on Strawberry Perl

I can't log in as the target user, since the target user is root, and root logins are disallowed on the remote machine. I also need a fair amount of interactivity. What I am trying to do is login, switch to root, kill the dhcp process, grab the leases file, parse it and pull out specific leases for processing, delete some of the leases, and finally restart the dhcp process.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but if all else fails, you could find a minimal Linux distro, install it in a vmware image (or some such), run it on your Windows box, and then do your work from that virtual machine ;)	[reply]

On Win32 I find Expect, IO-Tty and Net-SSH-Expect all build straight out of the box (and pass all tests) using Cygwin - but I haven't tested whether Net-SSH-Expect provides the mileage you need for the task at hand. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
