+ The Expect for Perl module was inspired more by the functionality the
+Tcl tool provides than any previous Expect-like tool such as Comm.pl or
+chat2.pl. I've had some comments that people may not have heard of the
+original Tcl version of Expect, or where documentation (book form) on Expect
+may be obtained.
+ The Tcl version of expect is a creation of Don Libes (libes@nist.gov).
+The Tcl Expect home page is http://expect.nist.gov/.
+ Don has written an excellent in-depth tutorial of the Tcl Expect,
+which is _Exploring Expect_. It is the O'reilly book with the monkey on the
+front. Don has several references to other articles on the Expect web page.
+
+ As always, please let me know if there's something you'd like to see
+documented that isn't. Please check the included FAQ and tutorial directory
+first. :-)
+
+ Thanks,
