&lt;p&gt;I don't believe the stty command has an option for this. You would need to read each character individually and echo back an asterisk accordingly. [cpan://Term::Readkey] makes this easy but you still need to handle edge cases like the backspace or control characters. Or you could just use [cpan://IO::Prompt].&lt;/p&gt;
