Net::CLI::Interact 2.122630

Automating command line interface (CLI) interactions is not a new idea, but can be tricky to implement. Net::CLI::Interact is a Perl module that aims to provide a simple and manageable interface to CLI interactions, supporting:

- SSH, Telnet and Serial-Line connections
- Unix and Windows support
- Reuseable device command phrasebooks

SYNOPSIS

 use Net::CLI::Interact;
 
 my $s = Net::CLI::Interact->new({
 personality => 'cisco',
 transport => 'Telnet',
 connect_options => { host => '192.0.2.1' },
 });
 
 # respond to a usename/password prompt
 $s->macro('to_user_exec', {
 params => ['my_username', 'my_password'],
 });
 
 my $interfaces = $s->cmd('show ip interfaces brief');
 
 $s->macro('to_priv_exec', {
 params => ['my_password'],
 });
 # matched prompt is updated automatically
 
 # paged output is slurped into one response
 $s->macro('show_run');
 my $config = $s->last_response;
