	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,

	Austin Schutz
