Automate Raid Configurations

Does anyone have experience with automating Raid configurations with Areca controllers? Or if this even possible. I'd like to setup a script to automate raiding of my machine over serial. Anyone have any experience, or anything similar to this?

Update: Perl::Expect is my friend.
