[Expectperl-discuss] several sequental spawns

[Alexey M. <mo...@no...>]

It looks like perl-Expect doesn't support for several subsequent spawns
for on objects, smth like this

my $expect = Expect->new(...);
# setting some parameters for the object created
#...
$expect->spawn('first_program',@parameters);
$expect->expect(smth);
$expect->soft_close or $expect->hard_close;
print $expect->existatus;
...

$expect->spawn('another_program',@parameters);

I got a message here in logs telling that /dev/pts/7 which was used for
the first program interaction doesn't exist anymore (no such file or
directory)

If I replace the second $expect->spawn with Expect->spawn the program
works Ok. Is there a way to skip creation of another Expect object, or
at least cloning settings from the first object to the second one?
