Well, if you have Term::Readline, you can

  use Term::ReadLine;
  $term = new Term::ReadLine 'ProgramName';
  $_ = $term->readline('prompt>','<please enter your name here>');

I recommend Term::Readline::Zoid or Term::Readline::Gnu as good back-end implementations. As for the bold-facing, well, choose your preput string very carefully ... and be certain your terminal can display bold text.
