It also works on Solaris.

Sorry that I cannot be of more help.  You might want to 
post this to the newsgroups (you probably already have),
as this mailing list isn't really well staffed yet.

I haven't announced the new Expect release to the 
newsgroups yet due to problems in CPAN (you cannot install 
the new version with CPAN.pm, you'd get the old one :-( ),
so we have a rather small user community.  But I hope this 
will change soon.
