[Expectperl-discuss] Problem running in bg

[Jason P. <jas...@su...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to run my perl code in the background under Solaris (tried 
under 5.6,7 and 9), but if I use Expect it hangs with "Suspended (tty 
output)".  I'm using perl 5.8.0.

Here's my test file:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Expect;

print STDERR "launching\n";
my $exp = Expect->new();
$exp->spawn("/sbin/sh");
print STDERR "launched\n";


% ./test.pl
launching
launched

% ./test.pl &
[3] 4179
% launching
[3]  + Suspended (tty output) ./test.pl

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jay Penney
