Expect script reading a crypted file

People, I really have two problems in one. Basicly "option 2" is the one I wish to persue but "option 1" will do for now....

Option 1
I have an expect script. I would like it to read (open ) a crypted file with out creating a decrypted file from the source (crypted file) then open and read the flat file.... any ideas....?

Option 2
I can do this from with in a standard UNIX script - no problem
ie (eval `crypt key </tmp/filename`)

Question.....
How do I (or can I) execute "expect" commands from with in the shell script (Without running a third external expect scrpit) and pass the shell varibales required to the expect code from with in the shell script?

Back ground.
The crypted file format is thus....
userid="myid"
password="mypass"
commnet="This is a comment"

Thanks
Andrek

CGI
::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::FilterUseryContributed Perl CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Filter::crypt(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Filter::crypt - crypt Filter

VERSION

       This document describes CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Filter::crypt version 0.20

METHODS

   filter ( undef, $string [, salt ] )
       This will generate a crypted string.  The first parameter is always ignored, since there is only one way to use the crypt function.  You
       can pass in an extra parameter to act as the salt.

	my $filtered = $class->filter(undef, 'foobar'); # mQvbWI43eDCAk

	-or-

	my $filtered = $class->filter(undef, 'foobar', 'AA'); # AAZk9Aj5/Ue0E

   check ( undef, $string, $crypted )
       This will crypt the string, and compare it against the provided crypted string.	The first parameter is always ignored, since there is only
       one way to use the crypt function.

	if ($class->check(undef, 'foobar', 'mQvbWI43eDCAk')) {
	    # they match
	}
