You are not doing anything special (from an ANSI standpoint) so Term::ANSIColor might get the job done for you. I haven't used it but really, I think the biggest thing you need to know are the escape sequences for the colors (and maybe some other ones like bold and highlighting). The last time I dealt with any of this was a decade ago and never in Perl. Ah, the good old BBS days! :-) | [reply] |
