Hi Pavle
The only way I know to do this is to use Term::ReadKey. Were you meaning
that you /couldn't/ use any modules? I doubt if there's an easy way
otherwise, as control of the console is very platform dependent. With this
module it becomes just:
use Term::ReadKey;
:
ReadMode 2;
$pass = ReadLine 0;
ReadMode 0;
HTH,
Rob
