I'm running into problems with the @ character in the connect string, i.e connect scott/tiger@mydb,  with $exp->send. I've tried to escape it with \@ but it doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas or do I nned to stick to IPC connections????


	IIRC you can put the the connect string on the command line, like
'sqlplus scott/tiger@mydb'. I'm not sure why send is giving you grief, but
you can simply print to it:

print $exp 'connect scott/tiger@mydb' . "\r";

	If that doesn't work you're probably doing something wrong and should
try using the documented debugging methods.
