Hi, I'd like to narrow the previous Expect(tcl) question so that an answer can be extracted: Perl vs Expect(tcl) question again.
Here is a specific Expect example: I have a release engineering build script that performs the following: Launch masterbuild.tcl (expect script) from WinNT server. This script will perform the below task: 1). Enter Solaris server, perform authentication, set the Solaris build environment, then run GNU make to compile all C++ code, exit Solaris. 2). Enter HPUX server, perform authentication, set the HPUX build environment, then run GNU make to compile all c++ code, exit HPUX. 3.) Enter winXP server, perform authentication, set the XP build variables, then run NMAKE to compile c++ code, exit XP. Question1: Expect is very efficient in performing the above task. Can Perl do the same task above? Surely Perl can. But what are the pros and cons? PROS and CONS would be very nice to know. Performance advantages? Assuming you're an skilled with both, which one is faster to set up from scratch? Question2: :-) How do you implement the Expect script above into Perll? Are there several modules to choose from? thanks, W -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
