Re: using perl to "press enter"

[Not_a_Number]

This seems to work for me:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::Console;

my $console = Win32::Console->new( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );

my $timerlength = 5; # or whatever

while ( 1 ) {
  sleep $timerlength;
  $console->Write( "\n" );
}

If you have ActiveState perl, Win32::Console is packaged with it.
