Two choices: use POSIX See `perldoc POSIX` and search for 'termio'. use Term::ReadKey; See http://search.cpan.org/~jstowe/TermReadKey-2.30/ Hint: the POSIX stuff is harder to follow (OK, it's all hard to follow). -- __END__ Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, --- Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
