simulate pressing the enter key using perl

[jonathan184]

Hi I am try to create a script to login EMS admin tool *JMS*
Now the admin account has a blank password.

so if i login normal

usually i type this:  i press enter
username(ADMIN) prompt - i press enter
password - i press enter

then i am int he system , so basically i press enter twice at the prompts* default admin acct this is what i am using*

Now the script - according to the doc

connect  connect 10.0.0.1:123456 -username admin -password

the password is blank but it requires an argument when i run it from perl.

I tried it this way:

connect  connect 10.0.0.1:123456 -username admin

It still prompts for password i could press enter here but for the script to be useful it has to login on its own. It does not allow "" or any kind of characters to represent a balank password.

So please help is there way to fix this or is there a way to simulate a press of the enter key.

I believe the Term::ReadKey module is used for that purpose. I've never used it myslef but maybe the documentation will be helpful.
