Hmmm... have a look at Win32::Console I don't know about any non MS platforms though..

I found something like 

# Get position only
($x, $y) = $CONSOLE->Cursor();

[download]

Further to that

Info

Returns an array of informations about the console (or undef on errors), which contains:

  • columns (X size) of the console buffer.
  • rows (Y size) of the console buffer.
  • current column (X position) of the cursor.
  • current row (Y position) of the cursor.
  • current attribute used for Write.
  • left column (X of the starting point) of the current console window.
  • top row (Y of the starting point) of the current console window.
  • right column (X of the final point) of the current console window.
  • bottom row (Y of the final point) of the current console window.
  • maximum number of columns for the console window, given the current buffer size, font and the screen size.
  • maximum number of rows for the console window, given the current buffer size, font and the screen size.

    See also: Attr, Cursor, Size, Window, MaxWindow.

    Example: 

        @info = $CONSOLE->Info();
    print "Cursor at $info[3], $info[4].\n";
