[comp.lang.perl] communicating through a pty

Can I use perl to communicate with another program through a pseudo terminal?
I would like to write a perl script that runs kermit on a pty, so that it
runs in interactive mode, sends commands to the kermit process, and then
reads the result.  What I want to do is too complicated to use kermits built
in scripting facilities, and perl would work quite well for this.  So far,
my attempts have been unsuccessful.  Any advice on setting something like
this up would be most appreciated.
