What does this command line program do? Maybe there is a way to do the whole
thing in Perl.

Subject: command line program control
I have a command line program running on Windows NT
that I call up from a dos prompt. This program is
written in C and has a simple menu structure. I would
like to use Perl to control this program, by putting
in the menu options and values in a particular order.
For example:
Main Menu:
1) Option 1
2) Option 2
3) Option 3
>>
I would like a perl script that gave the program a
'1', and then whatever values it needs from there. I
can store the values, and menu options in a data file,
but I'm not quite sure how to use perl to control this
program and give it the values.
I don't think the system command would work. I am
somewhat famliar with TCL expect which I've used with
telnet. Is there something similar in Perl?
I would appreciate any advice. I am looking for a
starting point.
Thank you,
Tina Ouellette
