Re: How can I control interactive cli executables on Windows from Perl

You should be able to use open APP,"|/some/command";, IPC::Open3, Expect or Win32::GuiTest (because I think the windows telnet client isn't a command-line program at all).

Nah, the standard windows telnet client is most definitely a console Application. /J\	[reply]

console application yes, but command-line? It doesn't work with STDIN/STDOUT so some of the suggestions above will probably not work (piped open, open3). Your best bet is probably Win32::Console, since it allows you access to reading the screen buffer and the keyboard control events.	[reply]
