# Win32::Console emulation mode # this returns a Win32::Console object on a Win32 platform my $console = Term::ANSIScreen->new; $console->Cls; # also works on non-Win32 platform
Term::ANSIScreen is a superset of Term::ANSIColor (as of version 1.04
of that module). In addition to color-sequence generating subroutines
exported by :color
and :constants
, this module also features
:cursor
for cursor positioning, :screen
for screen control, as
well as :keyboard
for key mapping.
When used in a object-oriented fashion, Term::ANSIScreen acts as a Win32::Console clone:
use Term::ANSIScreen; my $console = Term::ANSIScreen->new; $console->Cls(); # unbuffered $console->Cursor(0, 0); # same as locate(1, 1) $console->Display(); # really a no-op
On the Win32 platform, the new
constructor simply returns a geniune
Win32::Console object, if that module exists in the system.
This feature is intended for people who has to port Win32 console applications to other platforms, or to write cross-platform application that needs terminal controls.
:color
function set (exported by default)Term::ANSIScreen recognizes (case-insensitively) following color attributes: clear, reset, bold, underline, underscore, blink, reverse, concealed, black, red, green, blue, white, yellow, magenta, cyan, on_black, on_red, on_green, on_blue, on_white, on_yellow, on_magenta, and on_cyan.
The color alone sets the foreground color, and on_color sets the background color. You may also use on_color without the underscore, e.g. ``black on white''.
Alternately, you can pass a reference to an array as the first argument, and then the contents of that array will be taken as attributes and color codes and the remainder of the arguments as text to colorize.
Normally, this function just puts attribute codes at the beginning and end of the string, but if you set $Term::ANSIScreen::EACHLINE to some string, that string will be considered the line delimiter and the attribute will be set at the beginning of each line of the passed string and reset at the end of each line. This is often desirable if the output is being sent to a program like a pager, which can be confused by attributes that span lines.
Normally you'll want to set $Term::ANSIScreen::EACHLINE
to
"\n"
to use this feature.
:constants
function setIf you import :constants
you can use the constants CLEAR,
RESET, BOLD, UNDERLINE, UNDERSCORE, BLINK, REVERSE, CONCEALED,
BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, ON_BLACK, ON_RED,
ON_GREEN, ON_YELLOW, ON_BLUE, ON_MAGENTA, ON_CYAN, and ON_WHITE
directly. These are the same as color('attribute')
and can be
used if you prefer typing:
print BOLD BLUE ON_WHITE "Text\n", RESET; print BOLD BLUE ON WHITE "Text\n", RESET; # _ is optional
to print colored (``Text\n'', 'bold blue on_white');
When using the constants, if you don't want to have to remember
to add the , RESET
at the end of each print line, you can set
$Term::ANSIScreen::AUTORESET
to a true value. Then, the display
mode will automatically be reset if there is no comma after the
constant. In other words, with that variable set:
print BOLD BLUE "Text\n";
will reset the display mode afterwards, whereas:
print BOLD, BLUE, "Text\n";
will not.

), and maps it to a string defined by
the second argument. Afterwards, when the user presses the
mapped key, the string will get outputed instead.
color()
or
colored().
print FOOBAR "This text is color FOOBAR\n";
It's probably better to always use commas after constant names in order to force the next error.
print FOOBAR, "This text is color FOOBAR\n";
Generating this fatal compile error is one of the main advantages of using the constants interface, since you'll immediately know if you mistype a color name.
$Foobar = FOOBAR . "This line should be blue\n";
or:
@Foobar = FOOBAR, "This line should be blue\n";
This will only show up under use strict (another good reason to run under use strict).
