NAME
       Test::Expect - Automated driving and testing of terminal-based programs

SYNOPSIS
	 # in a t/*.t file:
	 use Test::Expect;
	 use Test::More tests => 13;
	 expect_run(
	   command => "perl testme.pl",
	   prompt  => 'testme: ',
	   quit	   => 'quit',
	 );
	 expect("ping", "pong", "expect");
	 expect_send("ping", "expect_send");
	 expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is");
	 expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like");

DESCRIPTION
       Test::Expect is a module for automated driving and testing of terminal-
       based programs.	It is handy for testing interactive programs which
       have a prompt, and is based on the same concepts as the Tcl Expect
       tool.  As in Expect::Simple, the Expect object is made available for
       tweaking.

       Test::Expect is intended for use in a test script.

SUBROUTINES
   expect_run
       The expect_run subroutine sets up Test::Expect. You must pass in the
       interactive program to run, what the prompt of the program is, and
       which command quits the program:

	 expect_run(
	   command => "perl testme.pl",
	   prompt  => 'testme: ',
	   quit	   => 'quit',
	 );

   expect
       The expect subroutine is the catch all subroutine. You pass in the
       command, the expected output of the subroutine and an optional comment.

	 expect("ping", "pong", "expect");

   expect_send
       The expect_send subroutine sends a command to the program. You pass in
       the command and an optional comment.

	 expect_send("ping", "expect_send");

   expect_is
       The expect_is subroutine tests the output of the program like
       Test::More's is. It has an optional comment:

	 expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is");

   expect_like
       The expect_like subroutine tests the output of the program like
       Test::More's like. It has an optional comment:

	 expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like");

   expect_handle
       This returns the Expect object.

expect_quit
       Closes the Expect handle.
