The clear command in UNIX just emits a character sequence that is
recognized by the terminal as a clear screen sequence.
So you can just capture this sequence using backticks:
my $cls = `clear`;
Then when you want to clear the screen, just:
print $cls;
If you're on Win32, this won't work. I assume you would need to use
system('cls');
or something similar to clear the screen.
