I've used expect before- i don't have the script with me :/
I'll try to dig it up...
Also, using Net::Telnet can work... it's a little more complex,
but feels more like Perl :) well, it /is/ Perl... *laugh*
if you use expect then here is one way to do it :
open (IN, "$expect_script |");#pipe the output of the expect script
#to a filehandle
while (<IN>){
manipulate data
}
you can't do much to manipulate the expect script here, but it lets you grab
the results.
If you want a Perlish way to login outomatically, look at the Perl expect
module (i haven't - and i understand it's a bit complicated) or look at
Net::Telnet. I recommend the latter. It may be complex, but the
documentation is fairly complete. It will take practice getting used to it.
