Hi, I am writing a script to manage users, on ldap and another application. The script offers to the user : the creation, modification and deletion of an account. When creating a new account, I present to the user a series of inputs to fill in, some are mandatory, using IO::Prompter For each input I then execute a sanity check according to the filled parameter (name, mail, date, password, ...etc.) The problem is, if I make a mistake on the name parameter, for example, there is no way to go up and make the change (using tabulation for example), like in a web form. The only way is to fill the other mandatory fields with anything then discard the whole operation and start the creation from scratch. Is there a way to present to the user, a web form like, but in text mode, where he can go back and modify a field before submission. Regards.
