Hello.
I'm trying to get keyboard input to work in a Perl script on Windows
platform. The snippet that's giving me trouble is
=================================================
# turn off echoing but don't interfere with STDIN
# open (TTY, "/dev/tty") or die "Cannot Open terminal\n";
## --------------------------------------------------------
## "Cannot Open Terminal" comes up when this code runs under Windows
## ---------------------------------------------------------
system ("stty -echo < /dev/tty");
print STDERR "Enter Password: ";
chomp ($password=<TTY>);
system ("stty echo < /dev/tty");
close (TTY);
print STDERR "\n";
====================================================
This doesn't work on Windows, only Linux. Does someone have a better way to
address the keyboard in Perl?
