Hello !!! Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your suggestion and confirmed that after spawn the ssh session, the expect object is not getting the password prompt. I think that the problem is with the EXPECT package itself. I think the package doesn't work on the PPC machines. After installing the perl EXPECT package, I attempted the run the tests that are provided as part of the package and the very first test itself failed. Check out the below !!!

Does any one know how to fix the issue in the Perl Expect Package? Or is there a way to bring up the issue on CPAN. Thanks Sri

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
