Use Send command of Expect package
HI All,
I am currently working on one command line application on AIX (Unix Platform).Here i need to use Expect package.
By using Expect package at the top of the script,i want to use just Send command of Expect package to send characters like,
1. Press Enter key
2. Press spacebar
3. Press Control B or Control x
4. Or it could be just type character from keyboard through my perl script in the application.
Please let me know how can i use send command for above mentioned functionalities.I need this information ASAP.
Even if there is any other option than Expect please let me know the commands or package
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Neha

devel::gdb::lowlevel
Devel::GDB::LowLevel(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::GDB::LowLevel(3pm)
NAME
Devel::GDB::LowLevel - Low-level interface for communicating with GDB
DESCRIPTION
This module is used internally by Devel::GDB. It handles the low-level I/O of communicating with the GDB process.
CONSTRUCTOR
new Spawns a GDB process. Because this class only facilitates communication with GDB (not with the inferior process being debugged), you
have to decide what to do with the "STDIN", "STDOUT", and "STDERR" of that process. There are a few options available:
* If STDIN is a tty, we can have the inferior process communicate directly with the controlling tty (emulating the default behavior
of gdb):
$gdb = new Devel::GDB::LowLevel( '-execfile' => $path_to_gdb,
'-params' => $extra_gdb_params );
* Or, we can create an "Expect" object to communicate with the inferior process:
$gdb = new Devel::GDB::LowLevel( '-create-expect' => 1 );
$expect = $gdb->get_expect_obj();
* Or, we can create our own tty and use that:
$gdb = new Devel::GDB::LowLevel( '-use-tty' => '/dev/pts/123' );
METHODS
send
Sends a raw line of text to GDB. This should not contain any newlines (they will be stripped). This method only sends a request, and
does not wait for a response.
get_reader
Returns the file handle from which to read GDB responses.
get_expect_obj
Returns the "Expect" object created in the constructor. Dies if '-create-expect' was not passed to "new".
interrupt
Send SIGINT to the GDB session, interrupting the inferior process (if any).
