Re: [Expectperl-discuss] speed up object close

[Roland G. <rgi...@cp...>]

I'll second Austins first approach: make the spawned commands exit
cleanly. That means, send an "exit\r" or whatever is needed after you
get the output from the remote commands. This will cause the remote
side to close everything down and you will get an EOF and the spawned
command will terminate and the close() will return immediately.

BTW, why are you using Expect? You could execute the shell commands
via qx'ssh'.  Unless you're starting some interactive programs
remotely...
