Here's my solution. Both of the answer sequences have a 10 second delay, and both of the sequences are invisible. It requires Prompt::ReadKey::Sequence. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Prompt::ReadKey::Sequence;
use English qw(-no_match_vars);
use Term::ReadKey qw(ReadMode ReadKey);

local $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH = 1;
   
my $seq = Prompt::ReadKey::Sequence->new;
$seq->run;
Press_key();
Press_key_again();         

sub Press_key {
open my $tty, '<', '/dev/tty';
print "Press a key: \n";
ReadMode(2);
ReadKey(10, $tty);
ReadMode('raw');

my $key = ReadKey(10, $tty);
printf "\nYou said %s, char number %03d\n", $key, ord $key;
ReadMode('normal');
}   

sub Press_key_again {
open my $tty, '<', '/dev/tty';
print "Press key again: \n";
ReadMode(2);
ReadKey(10, $tty);
ReadMode('raw');

my $key = ReadKey(10, $tty);
printf "\nYou said %s, char number %03d\n", $key, ord $key;
ReadMode('normal');
}
