The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Term::Interact
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Easily Get Data Interactively From User
userid: PRL (Phil R Lawrence)
chapterid: 8 (User_Interfaces)
communities:
clpm
similar:
Term::Prompt
rationale:
Other modules that deal with user-prompting are "type" fixated
(asking the programmer: are you prompting for a floating point? a
phone number? an international phone number?) This can often involve
cryptic type codes when it comes time to interface with the module.
Conversely, Term::Interact stays out of the business of building in
types of data to ask the user for. Rather, it allows the programmer
to specify one or more "checks" to apply against the user input. For
example, if the programmer wants a phone number, he can pass (
regex_check => qr/^\d{10}$/ ) to the module. Besides the built in
checks (sql_check, list_check, regex_check, compare_check) the
programmer can create custom checks if he wants to.
