in reply to control-d out of loop?

If you are using Perl/Tk, there are built in functions that will allow you to specify keyboard events. If you wish to look further into Tk, get the Perl/Tk book from O'Reilly. Yes, I know, most of the time, GUI is bad. In this case however, A few text boxes in a GUI with keyboard events might be what you were looking for.

    I believe that Necos is talking about binding:
    $widget->bind(tag,sequence,callback);

    Further more it might be much cheaper for you to take a
    look at the Tk::Bind reference that comes with the
    Module to see if it fits your situation.
      Thanks for the info! It is a little overkill for what I was doing but I will look into the suggested book! :) Thanks again!
