[Expectperl-discuss] Please point me to the right mailing list

[Carlyle S. <car...@db...>]

Hello,

I am a system administrator in a large corporation which
has not included Expect.pm and its siblings IO::Tty and IO::Stty
in the packaging.

I have written a perl script which creates a terminal for a child
process which uses the terminal rather than standard IO;
much as expect does but very simply and of very limited
scope.

This script works fine on AIX but not on SunOS or Linux.

I need to know how to get the name of the slave side after
opening the control side (/dev/ptc on AIX and /dev/ptmx on
the others). On AIX ttyname does this for me but it returns
"Inappropriate ioctl for device" elsewhere.

I don't mean to take up time and space on this list but I have been
looking unsuccessfully for a suitable mailing list more suited to
my problem.

Thank you for any pointers.

Best regards,
Carlyle
