ok. I figured out that giving
Input_log => \*STDOUT
works and it gives the correct output as desired. But the $t->cmd()
doesn't work for certain commands. Like for ls, whoami it works, but
for certain commands which change the command prompt, it doesn't work,
like setting a clearcase view, anybody has any idea ? thanks.
