I took a stab at writing a script to automate the interactive process of adding users to Nessus - I have zero previous coding experience. So far, it doesn't get me anywhere.
This is the code I have so far. When run, it seems to execute the nessus-adduser command/script, but doesn't supply any information (ie. login/pass) back. I simply get the "Login:" prompt, same as if i ran ./nessus-adduser.
I'm adding the same account across 20 scanners and intended to include this code in an OS hardening script.
Could someone take a look and point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

After just posting a query on beginners@perl.org inquiring about the perl API for automating useradd/userdel/usermod on FreeBSD, I got to thinking:
Maybe perl is not the best approach to automating useradd/usermod/userdel.
