Bug #121524 for Net-CLI-Interact: documentation unclear on continuation behaviour, and macro that matches first then sends

1. Manual/Cookbook.pod states that continuation can be inline (mentioned elsewhere, too) or with a macro that starts with a match, giving the example macro more_pages. the rest of the docs doesn't mention this match-then-send macro format anywhere, for example lib/Net/CLI/Interact/Phrasebook.pm does not include any hint of that syntax or the intended behaviour. question: does a macro with match-then-send allow multiple rounds, like normal macros do? ie. is macro thing, match prompt1, send x, match prompt2, send y, [implicit or explicit last match someprompt], supported or not? question: the cookbook pod says the send in match-then-send doesn't get an ors attached, the phrasebook.pm page does not say anything about when ors is not attached, just 'normally all sent stuff gets it'. which one is correct? question: does a macro with match-then-send support using a named prompt instead of the inline regex? ie. macro more_pages, match indicator_name, send 'some trigger text' qustion: does a continuation macro with match-then-send automatically apply once or N times? question: does a macro with match-then-send support 'or' with named prompts, or just one single inline regex as in the cookbook example? question: how does a macro with match-then-send react to the match not triggering at all? does it not send anything then? does n::c::i return a failure instead? or is a continuation macro with match-then-send always matching the given regex in parallel with an implicit or explicit last match? same question for inline follow macros: how does an in-line "follow /trigger/ with 'sendme'" react to no trigger match? does it automatically match some implicit other prompt instead? the phrasebook.pm pod seems to imply that, but can a match-then-send macro set its own, final, prompt? what about the /trigger/ being present again after sendme has been issued? is in-line continuation supported together with multiple send-match-send-match sequences or not? 2. Manual/Cookbook.pod says metachars like \n are supported in continuations, and so does the pod of lib/Net/CLI/Interact/Phrasebook.pm. question: are metachars supported everywhere, or just in continuations? regards az -- Alexander Zangerl email: alexz@opmantek.com skype: alex.zangerl mobile: +61 415 482 341 web: https://community.opmantek.com/
