This is the README file for Term::VT102, a Perl module which provides emulation of a VT102 terminal. Like the "expect" Tcl extension, this module is intended primarily for use as a way of automating processes; for instance, you can write a script which connects via telnet to a full-screen service of some kind (such as Monochrome BBS, http://www.mono.org/), uses this module to parse the output, and therefore can tell what is currently "on the screen" and react accordingly. Expect cannot really do this, as it is stream-oriented, rather than being able to tell you, say, what's on the top row of the screen. For installation instructions, see the INSTALL file. Term::VT102 was written by Andrew Wood ; send flames, bug reports, conversation, and all that sort of thing in that direction. $Id: README,v 1.2 2001/05/20 16:58:20 ivarch Exp $
