I'll give this a bash, but I can't help wondering why I need to use OO stuff though. I just want to use a module straight like I would with

#! /use/bin/perl
use strict;
use Term::ReadKey;

ReadMode( "noecho");
print "Enter pwd please :";
chomp (my $pwd = <>);
ReadMode ("original") ;
print "\nYou typed $pwd!\n";

where ReadMode is a subroutine in the Term::ReadKey module.
