It is handy for testing interactive programs which have a prompt, and is based on the same concepts as the Tcl Expect tool. As in L, the L object is made available for tweaking. L is intended for use in a test script. =head1 SUBROUTINES =head2 expect_run The expect_run subroutine sets up L. You must pass in the interactive program to run, what the prompt of the program is, and which command quits the program: expect_run( command => "perl testme.pl", prompt => 'testme: ', quit => 'quit', ); =head2 expect The expect subroutine is the catch all subroutine. You pass in the command, the expected output of the subroutine and an optional comment. expect("ping", "pong", "expect"); =head2 expect_send The expect_send subroutine sends a command to the program. You pass in the command and an optional comment. expect_send("ping", "expect_send"); =head2 expect_is The expect_is subroutine tests the output of the program like Test::More's is. It has an optional comment: expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is"); =head2 expect_like The expect_like subroutine tests the output of the program like Test::More's like. It has an optional comment: expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like"); =head2 expect_handle This returns the L object. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L. =head1 AUTHOR Leon Brocard, C<< >> =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2005, Leon Brocard This module is free software; you can redistribute it or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
