Fwd: SHADOWING TEXT

Hi all,

 

How do you shadow/hide text. For example I have a small perl program in which it authenticates at launch to access an application:

 

print "ENTER USER NAME\n";
$uname = <>;

chomp($uname);

print "\n";

 

print "ENTER PASSWORD\n";

$pwd = <>; #WOULD LIKE TO SHADOW THIS SCALAR WITH (*****)

chomp($pwd);

print "\n";

 

Thanks In Advance,

 

Hector Moran.
