Yes it will work. :-P
And probably save you a lot of coding...

Easy. Just look up the values for TIOCGPTN etc. in the .h files and put 
them hard-coded into you program, eg

  ioctl($fd, 0x47110815, $pty);

But I don't recommend that, use ssh instead, because that's more 
reliable and portable...

Hope this helps,
