The clear command in UNIX just emits a character sequence that is 
recognized by the terminal as a clear screen sequence.

So you can just capture this sequence using backticks:

   my $cls = `clear`;

Then when you want to clear the screen, just:

   print $cls;

If you're on Win32, this won't work. I assume you would need to use

   system('cls');

or something similar to clear the screen.

How do I start or load a new page

2002-01-21 Thread Remo, Sherwin 

Hi!

Is there a command in perl that refreshes the screen? Like the clear();
command in C or the CLS in DOS prompt or CLEAR in Unix.

I would like the script to clear the window when I run it.  In so that it
would look more presentabel and info. would be more easy to spot.

Thanks!
