Get Terminal Width and Height, Pure Perl

[James Edward Gray II]

Okay, I have a terminal program I need to get the width and height for. 
 I have a very good reason needing to do it with a base 5.8 Perl 
install, if at all possible.  Unfortunately, that rules out the super 
easy Term::ReadKey CPAN module.

(Side note:  I do have Term::ReadKey installed and am very aware of how 
wonderful it is.  In fact, why isn't this a standard module???  I just 
can't count on it being on the box this program will be run on.  I'll 
fight that fight if I have to, but first I thought I would check for 
another option.)

So my question is, is there a "Pure Perl" way to fetch the terminal 
columns and rows?

Thanks.

James
