perl script to control prompts from other scripts 1

[MrBlobby]

I have a perl script that executes another perl/sh script. The 2nd perl/sh script requires interaction i.e. it wants you to input your name etc etc.

How do I go about getting the first perl script to input data on request from the 2nd perl/sh script

Surely this must be quite dificult!!

Thanks

The Expect module will do what you want. Mike
