[Expectperl-discuss] spawned subprocess seems to hang

[Christian G. <cg...@hq...>]

I'm working on building a relocatable self-contained "perl world" which
contains all the modules I need for my project, without relying on
whatever happens to be installed on the target machine.

On Solaris 8, I am running into a problem, the symptom of which may be
familiar to the regular members of this list. I am failing right at test
2, where "expect" is waiting for the output produced. No output seems to
be forthcoming, even though running the spawned process with "truss" seems
to indicate that output is being produced. I suspect some problem with the
pty related to the way I may be building perl.

Has anyone observed this?
