Re: Re: Re: perl cant find it anymore!

Your @ woes are UN*X-related, not Perlish.

You know it's a UNIX system when backspace does something else.

In your case, stty sane (typed at the shell!) should fix things). If not, stty werase ^w should help.

Bonus old fart points for remembering which key deletes just one character!

You know it's a UNIX system when backspace does something else. I used to work with a sysadmin who taught people to not leave their environment config files world-writable by inserting the following line: `stty erase ' '` [download] A dirty trick, but effective. If it ever happens to you, remember that '\' is the shell escape character. :)	[reply] [d/l]

Update: I have been informed that as I suspected, my initial thought was too simple. BTW, while on this topic... Using Term::ANSI can be much more convenient than using print and \c all the time.
