Nathan,
I used Expect with Tcl quite a bit when I designed a database password change script. I started out not knowing anything about Tcl or Expect and picked it up pretty quickly. I am also a DBA, not a programmer so I'm sure you will be able to pick it up quickly as well. It is worth it to learn.
If you prefer Python, there are a couple of modules that have the same functionality as Expect but with Python syntax.
