The first thing that comes to mind are Dialog boxes from the various GUI's. Each GUI has it's own Dialog code but it's all similar. If you are working from a non-X commandline, there is Curses. Here is a simple Tk Dialog
#!/usr/bin/perl use Tk; use Tk::DialogBox; my $mw = MainWindow->new; my $dialog = $mw->DialogBox( -buttons => [qw/Ok Cancel/], -title => "Enter New Value" ); my $dialogE = $dialog->add("Entry"); $dialogE->pack(qw/-padx 10 -pady 10/); my $button = $mw->Button( -text => "Get new value...", -command => [ \&getNewValue, $dialog, $entry ] )->pack(qw/-side left -padx 10/); MainLoop; sub getNewValue { my ( $db, $entry ) = @_; my $dbEntry = $db->Subwidget('entry'); ## Clear the Entry before showing the dialog $dbEntry->delete( 0, 'end' ); ## Determine whether or not the user hit "Ok" my $button = $db->Show(); if ( $button eq "Ok" ) { my $letter = $dbEntry->get(); print "$letter was submitted\n"; } } __END__
