in reply to Pasting text when capturing user input only prints one character if system call is made in the loop
I expect you'll have a lot of trouble with trying to handle user input that way. When you call system, it forks off a new process which will inherit the standard input and output streams. I'd expect plenty of trouble with the other process possibly consuming/resetting the streams.
Based on your post, I'd suggest you instead use Term::ReadKey to get the ability to act on individual keypresses.
