First of all, what version of IO-Tty and Expect are you using?  I just 
tried the latest versions (v1.02 and v1.15) on SourceForges compile 
farm and found that IO-Tty tests OK while Expect fails on test 31 line 
284, which tests the controlling terminal, but this can only be a minor 
bug as the test for a controlling terminal passes in IO-Tty.  I'll look 
into that.  BTW, that tests ran on Darwin Kernel 5.3.

Hmm, the spawn seems to hang on exec synchronisation, which is fishy, 
as the test suite contains a test for that...

Anyway, please check that you are using the latest versions.

Cheers!
