3. Information about the perl-Expect package on openSUSE Leap

Information for package perl-Expect:
------------------------------------
Repository : Main Repository
Name : perl-Expect
Version : 1.35-1.23
Arch : noarch
Vendor : SUSE LLC
Installed Size : 149.3 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : perl-Expect-1.35-1.23.src
Upstream URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Expect/
Summary : Automate Interactions with Command Line Programs That Expose a Text Term[cut]
Description :
See an explanation of at http://code-maven.com/expect
The Expect module is a successor of Comm.pl and a descendent of Chat.pl. It
more closely resembles the Tcl Expect language than its predecessors. It
does not contain any of the networking code found in Comm.pl. I suspect
this would be obsolete anyway given the advent of IO::Socket and external
tools such as netcat.
Expect.pm is an attempt to have more of a switch() & case feeling to make
decision processing more fluid. Three separate types of debugging have been
implemented to make code production easier.
It is possible to interconnect multiple file handles (and processes) much
like Tcl's Expect. An attempt was made to enable all the features of Tcl's
Expect without forcing Tcl on the victim programmer :-) .
Please, before you consider using Expect, read the FAQs about "I want to
automate password entry for su/ssh/scp/rsh/..." and "I want to use Expect
to automate [anything with a buzzword]..."
