Re: PPM behind firewall - security concern

Why on earth use Tk? You are at the command line typing already so why would you not just insert....

print "Firewall Password ";
chomp(my $password  = <>);

Or if you don't want to read your password on the screen use: `use Term::ReadKey; print "Enter PASSWORD: "; ReadMode 'noecho'; my $line = <STDIN>; chomp($line); ReadMode 'normal'; print "\n";` [download] This works even on a windoze console.
