in reply to Two operating systems.

I have had good results using the Expect module to control a program via a Telnet connection.

It's not entirely intuitive. The book Exploring Expect (O'Reilly, 1994), which is about the TCL program that inspired the Perl module, helped me.

    Wow, I loved that book. I started out as a TCL programmer and that book totally rocked my world. That and Mastering Regular Expressions.
