For the first question, it's a FAQ, so you should probably start by reading
(or at least skimming) the entire FAQ, either on your local disk by typing
perldoc perlfaq or at the Monestary via perlman:perlfaq.
As for the second, if you have to ask, you should still be using read(). {grin}
But the answer to that is once again in the docs in perlman:perlfunc.

these two
PM's should add to you coding pleasure.

Another place you might want to look at is Curses which is a termio/s wrapper library that greatly simplifies GUI-like text mode graphics. I use it all the time! It's fun and easy! Only $29.95! just joking, give it a whirl.
