Summary : Wrapper around the Expect module
|
Description :
\'Expect::Simple\' is a wrapper around the \'Expect\' module which should suffice for simple applications. It hides most of the \'Expect\' machinery; the \'Expect\' object is available for tweaking if need be.
Generally, one starts by creating an *Expect::Simple* object using *new*. This will start up the target program, and will wait until one of the specified prompts is output by the target. At that point the caller should *send()* commands to the program; the results are available via the *before*, *after*, *match_str*, and *match_idx* methods. Since *Expect* simulates a terminal, there will be extra \'\\r\' characters at the end of each line in the result (on UNIX at least). This is easily fixed:
($res = $obj->before) =~ tr/\\r//d; AATTlines = split( \"\ \", $res );
This is *not* done automatically.
Exceptions will be thrown on error (match with \'/Expect::Simple/\'). Errors from *Expect* are available via the *error_expect* method. More human readable errors are available via the *error* method.
The connection is automatically broken (by sending the specified disconnect command to the target) when the *Expect::Simple* object is destroyed.
