Hi Andreas,

If you have ActiveState Perl, why not try opening the HTML help, C:\Perl\html\index.html. if you followed the standard installation procedure. Now select in the left-hand pane the help for the Term::ReadLine module.

If I look at this page I see that the Term::ReadLine module that comes with ActiveState Perl does not have a get_reply function...

Okay, Activestate specific? No, just check this link.

Next I asked mr. Google for "perl term get_reply" and found a post on stackoverflow and there I saw also Term:UI. So:

use warnings; 
use Term::UI;
use Term::ReadLine;

my $term = Term::ReadLine->new( 'brand' );
my @arrayOfChoices = ( qw( Hans Jan Jannie Piet Klaas Truus ) );
my $reply = $term->get_reply(
        prompt => 'select a name',
        choices => \@arrayOfChoices,
);
print $reply;
