RE: [Expectperl-discuss] exiting and a spawned process

[Rogaski, M. A. <ro...@at...>]

: From: Rogaski, Mark, ALNTK 
: 
: Expect.pm doesn't have a destructor that does any cleanup 
: when exit() is
: called.  So, there's nothing to reap the little children.  
: However, it does
: provide soft_close() and hard_close() which will do the job.  
: Since this is
: a case where a problem has occurred, you're probably going to 
: want to add a
: $lrb->hard_close() before that exit.
: 

Oh, I forgot to add that if you still have a problem, you can always use
$lrb->exp_pid() to get the process id and use kill() explicitly.
