As I wrote in the original message, I'm already writing out the scp
portion of my Perl script as an expect script and executing that from
within Perl. I'd rather do the whole process within Perl itself since the
majority of the script does a lot Perlish-oriented admin work that I
wouldn't enjoy re-writing in tcl. Ideally I'd like to hear of a way to
feed the password to scp via Perl.
Has anyone been able to automate an scp script, including feeding it a
password, using Perl or Bash?
