Hi,

if you want to run the script with three input, You can get the three inputs through arguments.

ex.
perl test.pl arg1, arg2, arg3

Test.pl

use strict;
my(val1,val2, val3 )=($ARGV[0],$ARGV[1],$ARGV[2]);

Expect allows you to send commands to the shell of a remote host.

If you want to execute a Perl script at the remote host, you either have to copy the respective script to the remote host, or (e.g. if you don't have permissions to do so), you could execute Perl code via the command line, e.g.:

perl -e 'print "hello\n"'

Hope this helps ...
