NAME

6       Net::CLI::Interact::Role::Engine - Statement execution engine
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This module is the core of Net::CLI::Interact, and serves to take
10       entries from your loaded Phrasebooks, issue them to connected devices,
11       and gather the returned output.
12

INTERFACE

14   cmd( $command_statement, \%options? )
15       Execute a single command statement on the connected device, and consume
16       output until there is a match with the current prompt. The statement is
17       executed verbatim on the device, with a newline appended.
18
19       The following options are supported:
20
21       "timeout => $seconds" (optional)
22           Sets a value of "timeout" for the Transport local to this call of
23           "cmd", that overrides whatever is set in the Transport, or the
24           default of 10 seconds.
25
26       "no_ors => 1" (optional)
27           When passed a true value, a newline character (in fact the value of
28           "ors") will not be appended to the statement sent to the device.
29
30       "match => $name | $regexpref | \@names_and_regexprefs" (optional)
31           Allows this command (only) to complete with a custom match, which
32           must be one or more of either the name of a loaded phrasebook
33           Prompt or your own regular expression reference ("qr//"). The
34           module updates the current prompt to be the same value on a
35           successful match.
36
37       In scalar context the "last_response" is returned (see below). In list
38       context the gathered response is returned as a list of lines. In both
39       cases your local platform's newline character will end all lines.
40
41   macro( $macro_name, \%options? )
42       Execute the commands contained within the named Macro, which must be
43       loaded from a Phrasebook. Options to control the output, including
44       variables for substitution into the Macro, are passed in the %options
45       hash reference.
46
47       The following options are supported:
48
49       "params => \@values" (optional)
50           If the Macro contains commands using "sprintf" Format variables
51           then the corresponding parameters must be passed in this value as
52           an array reference.
53
54           Values are consumed from the provided array reference and passed to
55           the "send" commands in the Macro in order, as needed. An exception
56           will be thrown if there are insufficient parameters.
57
58       "timeout => $seconds" (optional)
59           Sets a value of "timeout" for the Transport local to this call of
60           "macro", that overrides whatever is set in the Transport, or the
61           default of 10 seconds.
62
63       An exception will be thrown if the Match statements in the Macro are
64       not successful against the output returned from the device. This is
65       based on the value of "timeout", which controls how long the module
66       waits for matching output.
67
68       In scalar context the "last_response" is returned (see below). In list
69       context the gathered response is returned as a list of lines. In both
70       cases your local platform's newline character will end all lines.
71
72   last_response
73       Returns the gathered output after issuing the last recent "send"
74       command within the most recent "cmd" or "prompt". That is, you get the
75       output from the last command sent to the connected device.
76
77       In scalar context all data is returned. In list context the gathered
78       response is returned as a list of lines. In both cases your local
79       platform's newline character will end all lines.
80
81   last_actionset
82       Returns the complete ActionSet that was constructed from the most
83       recent "macro" or "cmd" execution. This will be a sequence of Actions
84       that correspond to "send" and "match" statements.
85
86       In the case of a Macro these directly relate to the contents of your
87       Phrasebook, with the possible addition of "match" statements added
88       automatically. In the case of a "cmd" execution, an "anonymous" Macro
89       is constructed which consists of a single "send" and a single "match".
