Hi,

I am coding a program in Perl which invokes another executable program
(say program 2). But the problem is that when program 2 is run it asks
user for some input. Since i have to run program 2 a lot of times
through my own Perl program, it is not possible to provide the input
to program 2 from console. Can i pass the value of input to program 2
via any way. Program 2 is a dos based program and its not mine. I only
have a exe of Program 2.


Thanks a lot,
Sunil

A nicer subject might have been something like "Providing input to
external program run from Perl" or some such.

Check out the Expect module from CPAN.
