How to work with CLI application using perl

[Npreeti]

HI All,

I need solution for one problem.

We are installing a product on Solaris OS.There is a kind of command line installshield in Solaris .I need to use perl for automation of this installation process.

How can i automate this installation process? Are there any perl packages existing?


Thanks,
Preeti

You have posted your question under Perl Articles instead of the Perl Forum.
I have moved it across for you.

Please be sure, in the future, to post all questions into the Forum area instead of the Articles area.

Possible the Expect module will be what you need.

Hi,

Thanks alot .I am able to invoke setup.exe of build on AIX machine .But one more problem is there ,it is identifying options .
For Ex: There are some languages i need to install the product on.Suppose if i select english then the installation will be done in English.

Here i am not able to select a language.I dont know exactly which package to use in perl? Also i need to drive the installation activity.
