I don't know of any module that can simply and quickly change color. I usually just do a system call. That is the crux of the problem. There's so many different systems, consoles, terms, and whatever that it's a real pain to try and find a general way to do it. Here's a script that changes the bgcolor(fullscreen) to black and text color to bold green:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # change bgcolor and text system("echo -e"\e[1;32;40m black"); sleep 5; # revert to original color system("echo -e "\e[0m");
Here's a script that I use to get info about my terminal colors and capabilites:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Term::Cap; use Term::ExtendedColor qw(fg get_colors lookup); use Data::Dumper::Concise; my $termcap = Term::Cap->Tgetent({ Term => 'undef' }); print "Capabilities found: ", join(', ', sort(keys %{$termcap})), "\n" +; print Dumper(my $colors = get_colors()); for(0 .. 255) { my $color_str = lookup($_); if(defined($color_str)) { printf("%25s => %s\n", fg($color_str, $color_str), $_); } }
