Sometimes I want a transcript of my terminal sessions. My terminal buffer fills up too quickly, and copy/pasting from the terminal into an emacs buffer is also a hassle.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The unix command 'script' almost does what I want; it outputs a file called 'typescript' by default. But typescript has lots of terminal control characters (like backspaces) in it.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

What perl module can process the typescript file so I get a humanly readable ascii file?
