[Expectperl-discuss] perl test.pl eof test failed on solaris 8

[Yang Tj-A. <AT...@mo...>]

Hi, there 

I got Expect-1.11 with  IO-Stty-0.2,IO-Tty-0.92_02 to compiled and
packaged on my solaris 2.6 box and it pass the "perl test.pl".
But when I install these packages on solaris 8 and run perl test.pl
again, it failed as shown below  
1..7
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
not ok 5
# Failed test 5 in test.pl at line 50
ok 6
ok 7

test 5 is a test on getting eof from a process, should I concern
about this failing test ? my program seems working fine so far.


I am writing web page password changer using expect.pm. please
help and I will make up a easy one for inclusion in  faq or 
examples section.(if others think my example is good enough to
be included).

Thanks

tj
