Could I suggest that, instead of using expect, you all have a look
at /spider/perl/showdx. It is not a CGI program, but could easily be
modified (by someone else, preferably) to do what you require using
CPI.pm.

This has the advantage that it looks at the files and does not connect
to the node at all.
