It's relatively small, and if you're using debian/ubuntu, apt-get install libexpect-perl and you're done. That's our install method and it works well. > So, the question is, is it even possible to intall Expect.pm > and its associated bundle in a source code repository and > have that code run on different machines?

So this may or may not work, depending on what you have installed...I would try it and see what happens though, it might "just work". -Steve On May 2, 2013, at 11:51 AM, Greg London <[email protected]> wrote: > Anyone use Expect.pm? > > I'm looking to use it at work, but I seem to be running into some > resistance from IT about installing it (and its bundle) on all > the machines.
