Term::Readkey should do the job. From the CookBook : `Use Term::ReadKey; ReadMode('noecho'); $password = ReadLine(0);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I just did a quick search here and came up with this node How do I make password prompts not echo back the user?. I hope this helps. David Edit: Oops, a couple of minutes too late.	[reply]
