Perl IO::Pty module

[Dan Sullivan]

I am trying to use the Expect.pm module for Perl on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00 machines. Unfortunately, the IO::Pty module, which Expect uses, does not appear to function properly on HP-UX. Has anyone else gotten this to run?

I have found several postings to the comp.lang.perl.modules group and other places, but no one seems able to answer the question. This is one of the clearest postings:

Thanks!
