Given the caveat that this is not portable, you specified 'Linux' and 'Terminal', and that you wanted non-modular, try this: `#! /usr/bin/perl -w use strict; print ' ', map (" $_ ", 40..47), "\n"; for my $fg (30..37, map {"1;$_"} 30..37) { printf "%9s%s\n", $fg, join ('', map {"\e[${fg}m\e[${_}m Text \e[0m"} 40..47); }` [download] I don't have the kind of patience that tachyon has, so I won't simulate the output, but imagine a labelled grid of foreground/background combinations that looks pretty.

Why not modular? Modules tend to be working, tested and stable. You do understand RTFS (it's no more than a handful of lines)? There is no reason why you can't Cut and Paste what you want? If installing modules seems problematic see A Guide to Installing Modules. If you for some reason want to inline the code or write your own functions a Module that does stuff you want is generally a good place to start your R&D (Rip-off & Duplication ;-) cheers tachyon	[reply]

the code that i'm building needs some modules to install i don't want to add other modules (that need an installation).	[reply]
