in thread How to change the color of the text

I've inserted the ANSI code and it should display the whole output in another color correct? However it does not. What am I missing? Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl use Term::ANSIColor qw(:constants); print GREEN, open (FILE, "railcardata.txt"); while (<FILE>) { chomp; ($roadname, $roadnumber, $cartype, $interrr) = split(":"); write; } close (FILE); format STDOUT_TOP = ====================================================================== ROAD NAME ROAD NUMBER CAR TYPE INTERCHANGE RAILROAD ====================================================================== . format STDOUT = @<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<< $roadname, $roadnumber, $cartype, $interrr . sleep 12;

    "ANSI doesn't take"

    What do you mean by that?

    Maybe you ought to show that code?

    Does your terminal support ANSI escapes?
