Re: How do you clear the screen?

I'm running activestate perl 5.6.1 for mswin32 and I have found that system ("clear"); doesn't work but the following code works fine.

#!/usr/bin/perl-w
use strict;
use Win32;

system ("cls");

i'm running Win2000~ `I:\tmp>clear 'clear' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.` [download] so `system("clear")` won't work because it's not a windows command. "cls" is. ~Particle	[reply] [d/l] [select]
