Run local Perl script on remote server through expect -

i have perl script on local machine, , want run on remote server. following command works fine:

ssh user@ipaddress "perl - --arg1 arg1 --arg2 arg2" < /path/to/local/script.pl 

the thing prompt shows ask me password, , don't want that.

i looked around net, , found 3 solutions:

• using public/private key authentication -> not ok in case
• using sshpass -> not in company's 'official' repo cannot install it
• using expect

i followed page create expect script (i'm new expect): how use bash/expect check if ssh login works, took script correct answer, , replaced 3 first lines #!/usr/bin/expect -f have expect script.

then ran

./ssh.exp user password ipaddress "perl - --arg1 arg1 --arg2 arg2" < /path/to/local/script.pl 

and have timeout error. if ran ./ssh.exp user password ipaddress "perl"

i tried putting quotes like

./ssh.exp user password ipaddress '"perl - --arg1 arg1 --arg2 arg2" < /path/to/local/script.pl' 

but have /path/to/local/script.pl not found error.

so can me figure out how run script through expect ? lot.

ok, found myself.

still using answer how use bash/expect check if ssh login works replaced 6th line with

set pid [ spawn -noecho sh -c "ssh $1@$3 $4 < /path/to/local/script.pl" ] 

and works charm.
