[Expectperl-discuss] Prerelease Expect v1.12 & IO::Tty v0.05

[Roland G. <Ro...@a1...>]

Hi folks,

I finally found some time to get all those fixes and suggestions into 
the code. Find attached the prerelease versions for IO::Tty and 
Expect. Please try them out at your convenience. IO::Tty finally has 
some tests, so it should be easy to 'make test' and provide me with the 
results. I'm especially interested in results from FreeBSD and HPUX 
systems, as those had the most troubles in the past.

Most notable changes:

IO::Tty:

* finally should work under Windows NT (via Cygwin)!!
* slave PTY should now be a controlling terminal, so spawning ssh 
should work.
* some SVR4 only define __SVR4; fixed.
* OSF machines need termio.h for various macros
* AIX doesn't define VOIDSIG; fixed.
* added openpty() version for FreeBSD and others

Expect:

* interact should work better, escaping should now work.
* destroying an expect object shouldn't take half a minute anymore.

Have fun!

Roland
