script to execute minicom
Does anybody know how we can write a perl-script that executes the program minicom? It should also contain commands and close minicom afterwards.
The biggest problem is that we have to enter a password to get in minicom.
thanks...

We use minicom to connect from a linux server to a power control unit. The first command that you have to give in is a password(and enter). Then you give in some more stuff. At the end the program you have to type ctrl + A and Z to get into a menu. Finally you type Q (and enter). The big problem is that the program doesn't accept our password.
