use IO::Prompt::Hooked qw(prompt);
my $input = prompt(
message => 'Please enter 47:',
validate => qr/^47$/,
);
print "You entered: $input\n";
Sample run:
Please enter 47: a
Please enter 47: b
Please enter 47: 42
Please enter 47: 47
You entered: 47
I feel it coming.... "But I can't use modules.":
- Why not?
- Then why are you using Perl?
- Then you should look at the fairly trivial source code for IO::Prompt::Hooked and see how it works. Or at minimum, read and comprehend perlintro.
