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").
