In trying to use Term::ReadKey, I've come across information indicating
that Term::ReadKey does not work properly with Perl v5.8.0. We are
running 5.8.0 on numerous systems, and upgrading them is not a trivial
thing, due to business reasons. So, I need to find an alternative to
some ReadKey functionality.
I have a script that runs continuously, until explicitly ended by the
user (cntl-c), displaying updated results to the screen on a pre-defined
interval. I want to allow the user to hit specific keys to define what
is being displayed on the screen. So, I need the "ReadKey(-1)",
non-breaking functionality without using the Term::ReadKey module. Any
ideas how I might accomplish this?
Thanks.
Jason
