    Summary: wrapper around the Expect module
    Description: 
    "Expect::Simple" is a wrapper around the "Expect" module which
    should suffice for simple applications.  It hides most of the
    "Expect" machinery; the "Expect" object is available for tweaking if
    need be.
    
    Generally, one starts by creating an Expect::Simple object using
    new.  This will start up the target program, and will wait until
    one of the specified prompts is output by the target.  At that point
    the caller should send() commands to the program; the results are
    available via the before, after, match_str, and match_idx
    methods.  Since Expect simulates a terminal, there will be extra
    "\r" characters at the end of each line in the result (on UNIX at
    least).  This is easily fixed:
    
        ($res = $obj->before) =~ tr/\r//d;
        @lines = split( "\n", $res );
    
    This is not done automatically.
    
    Exceptions will be thrown on error (match with "/Expect::Simple/").
    Errors from Expect are available via the error_expect method.
    More human readable errors are available via the error method.
    
    The connection is automatically broken (by sending the specified
    disconnect command to the target) when the Expect::Simple object is
    destroyed.
