I am trying use the following gui program to let user to

login to a remote box dump the some process information

What I wanted is that let the perl:expect:spawn session

stdout dump on the to TK:Text window. If I use tie to display

text on the tk window, the expect:spawn is failing. If I commented

out the tie command line the code works fine, bu t out put appears

on the unix shell window and not the perl:tk:text window

How do I resolve this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here is the error I get when stdout is tied to tk widow using ( tie *STDOUT, 'Tk::Text', $t;)
