Re: [Expectperl-discuss] raw_pty(1) not working properly on OSX?

[Gabor S. <ga...@sz...>]

Let me divert this conversation back to the mailing list where more people
might be able to contribute.

So if it is not a bug in Expect.pm nor in IO::Tty, then I wonder how would
you deal with the situation?
As I understand on OSX and on the various *BSDs  bc is echoing back my
input (27+3) even after I call $e->raw_pty
(1);

How would you write your Expect code in this situation?

Oh and wouldn't that mean the documentation of Expect.pm needs to be
updated to explain that
raw_pty(1); does not always turn off echo-ing?

first I thought that it was something that bc was doing but after a quick
search, I couldn't find any reference to bc changing the terminal settings,
but readline certainly does. As for the difference between linux and mac, I
really don't know for sure. readline is part of the os on mac
(/usr/lib/libreadline.dylib). Perhaps apple use different compile time
options than linux? All I really had to time to look at was if this was an
issue with IO:Tty

It's not a bug in IO::Tty
