Re^6: RFC: beginner level script improvement

[georgecarlin]

ah yes, thank you for noticing. It's fixed via return to and set in main now.

I've transformed all of the code but the expect parts by now but want to complete and throughly test it before posting the version 2. However I'm not entirely sure if what I have in mind is going to work.

The expect-interaction is entirely independent on the protocol so I will consolidate both prior subs, but since most expect calls are similar I would like to create abstract subs and pass params to them as well as an exp-handle ref. is this possible?

rough example:

sub expect_main {

    my $exp = new Expect;
    $exp->configure_stuff;
    my $FB = expect_do_something(\$exp, \@expectthese, \@sendthese);

}

sub expect_do_something {
    my ($exp,$expectthese,$sendthese) = @_;
    $exp->expect(5,
        [ qr/$expectthese->[0]/, sub { 
            $exp->send("$sendthese->[0]");}],
        [ qr/$expectthese->[1]/, sub {
            $exp->send("$sendthese->[1]");}],        
    );
    my $fb = $exp->before();
    return $fb;
}

Would this work or is it impossible to interact with the expect handle and methods this way? Or is there maybe a better way? Thanks in advance.
