caveat: I've never used Expect and rarely use UNIX
in the Expect documentation that I just read briefly I see reference to two
methods and a package variable which seem to be relevant
$object->exp_stty(@stty_modes)
$object->manual_stty(0, 1, or undef)
$Expect::Manual_Stty;
you might check those out - if you haven't already
you might also consider posting the question to the comp.lang.perl.misc
newsgroup .. because it definitely qualifies as a non-beginner question
