++AnomalousMonk has pointed out (above) why you started a new thread. Starting a new thread is absolutely fine. When a new thread follows on from a previous thread, it's useful to provide a link to the earlier thread so that respondents have some context and don't waste time reproducing advice that may have already been given.

In the current thread, you've given "Password prompt" as the title. That's rather vague and could equally apply to your previous thread. Moreover, AnomalousMonk actually provided you with a suggested title for your new thread: you could have just used that. See "How do I compose an effective node title?" for more information on this.

For your question, you've simply used the suggested title. You've provided no context or other details despite having received advice about why this is not useful and how you could do it better.

We're more than happy to help but you need to help us to help you.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
