Check out Comm.pl at -CPAN-/authors/id/ERICA/Comm.pl-1.5beta.tar.gz (-CPAN- is any CPAN site. I got this from ftp://ftp.delphi.com/pub/mirrors/packages/perl/CPAN/) (BTW, this is both perl4 and perl5 compliant...) - From the Announcement: What: "Comm.pl", a successor to "chat2.pl", providing a high level interface to: - STREAM/UDP sockets - pseudo-tty control - Revamped "expect"-like functionality (plus "interact"). - ioctl/stty terminal mode control other things: - Support for BSD & SVR4 flavors (so far, tested with SunOS4.x, olaris2.x) - sample client/server and expect scripts Why: - "chat2.pl" doesn't have SVR4 support. People have been posted a lot with questions about getting SOCK_STREAM right, or how to get a pty. - The Expect pattern/action pair only confuses people the way that chat2 emulated it. A Perl "expect" should be simple; it should not be trying to execute code given as parameters; that's what the Perl interpreter is for. Also, the TCL Expect program has a whole lot of stuff that we don't really need because it's available via other methods in Perl (i.e. "send_tty").
