Yes I have a perl script running inside of the expect script, which works fine. I need to find a way to call the expect script and output the perl to the html page that is calling it. I found a version of expect for perl, but it didn't seem to be able to get the results that I was looking for, being able to telnet into a terminal and offer up passwords and such. then run another perl script that was picked as an option.
