Mostly for portability. Also just like to stray away from using system commands when at all possible.

Hi - Yes: system ("clear"); :) I don't really know, but what is wrong with the 'system' approach? The overhead should be minimal since 'clear' is embedded in the shell. Are you worried about portability? system ($^O =~ /win32/i ? 'cls' : 'clear'); (tested OK Win 2000 and Linux) Aloha => Beau. -----Original Message----- From: Jensen Kenneth B SrA AFPC/DPDMPQ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 4:26 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Clear command in perl? Is there a perl command equivalent to: system ("clear"); ? Thanks, Ken
