Hello, due to line 207 in Expect.pm v1.19 exp_init fails if STDIN is tied and the package it is tied to doesn't have a method FILENO. # line 207 ${*$self}{exp_Pty_Handle} = "STDIN" if $self->fileno() == fileno (STDIN); I stumbled over that using Expect in a fastcgi application where STDIN is tied to FCGI::Stream. # fix: unless (tied *STDIN) { ${*$self}{exp_Pty_Handle} = "STDIN" if $self->fileno() == fileno (STDIN); } cheers, --shmem -- _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

Expect uses select() and thus needs a fileno on the filehandle to work with. You should complain to the author of the tied package and request that he exports an underlying fileno (if there is one). Regards, Roland -- RGiersig@cpan.org

Right you are; a module that ties filehandles is misbehaved if it does not implement FILENO. That came to my mind right after hitting the Send button... sorry, and thanks for the quick response! --shmem Show quoted text
