testing functions that prompt user or call external commands

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

I have inherited some code that I want to set up some test for. But most of the code is input routines that prompt the user for input or execution functions that calls a function to run external commands. Any suggestions for how to test such functions?

I think you can use Test::Expect.	[reply]
