Re^2: Making a shell work like a Net::Telnet session

Have you actually tried the spawn sample on a Windows box? I am almost sure it will not work.

IO::Pty does not compile there, you could just use IPC::Open2 but Net::Telnet uses select to poll the connection and on Windows select does not work with pipes.

Later versions of perl have a socketpair emulation that uses TCP internally (it goes through localhost) but the last time I tried it with OpenSSH, it didn't like having its stdio attached to a TCP socket.

Aha! Okay - I missed that this was on a Windows box. Thanks for the clarification.	[reply]
