ActivePerl and Expect question

[Dipak Prasad]

Hi

I have a question regarding ActivePerl and Expect. I am working with
already existing ActivePerl (5.6.1 Build 635) s/w for Windows. I need
to integrate and automate an interactive CLI-Menu driven 3rd party s/w
to the ActivePerl s/w. I was planning to do that using Expect, when I
found out that Expect is not supported by ActivePerl. My question is
there something equivalent to Expect provided by ActivePerl (I have
never used Active Perl before), and/or is there a way to make Expect
work with ActivePerl?

Thank
