I need to know if it's possible to print encode blanks or some other types of character while sending password to expect FH. If so, how? Thanks for your input.

                             
sub copyover {                  
        my $scp=Expect->spawn("/usr/bin/scp -r \"$srcpath\" ${dest_hos
+t}:$destpath");
        my $spawn_ok;           
        $scp->expect(30,        
                        [       
                         qr'ssword: ', 
                         sub {  
                                $spawn_ok=1;
                                print $scp ("password\n"); 
                                exp_continue;
                         } 
                        ],
                        [
                         qr'yes/no', 
                         sub {
                                $spawn_ok=1;
                                $scp->send("yes\n");
                                exp_continue;
                         }
                        ],
                        '-re', qr'[#>:] $', #'  
        ); 
        $scp->soft_close();
        return;
