I'm stumped on where to look but there must be a module to handle interactive programming. What I mean is printing out a list of things, the user selects what he wants, hits enter and the program continues. I presume the module would enable going back to change things and handle multipage input.
Have I missed something basic to perl programming? I've perused the camel books but I tend to learn by doing and at this stage may have skimmed over it
You are asking this question on a CGI list, do you mean interactive at a shell or over the web?
To remain on topic, I will assume the latter, in general Perl is used in a CGI context which usually means that there is a stateless session such that an "interactive" (or continually running process across multiple HTTP pages) doesn't really exist. There are a number of ways around this hinderance, but none of which truly provide a stateful, interactive feel.
So what do you really mean?
