Thanks for all ur suggestions...unfortunately my problem remains unsolved!!

Currently I need to use Perl 5.6 on a Windows 2000 machine. For the code given by hardburn, it says Posix::termios not supported!

i am unable to use CPAN module termkey and not able to install it using CPAN or PPM...Maybe because I'm not using ActiveState perl

So..is there any other suggestions which can be used to solve this problem of accepting user password without printing on console ?? If perl 5.6 doesnt provide any ways by default, anyother subroutine code that'll do the job of accepting pswd without console display ?

Still awaiting enlightening suggestions from the monks...
