Hi Corion,

Thanks for your reply but Term::ReadKey doesn't comes with perl as standard module (atleast in perl v5.6). Also, it's not like I am trying to avoid; just curious to know if there any other possible route?

once again, Thanks for your suggestion.

    Of course you could use other methods, but most of them only work on a small number of platforms. Figuring out all the differences between the OSes and their implementations of terminals is very boring. Thats what Term::ReadKey does for you.

    One way of turning echo off on UNIX-like platforms is stty -echo and turn it on again with stty echo.

      Thank You all for your suggestion. Really Thanks.Have a nice day ahead.
