You've received two good answers here.

Your code reads a line of text. Then you test to see if the 1st character on that line is a <ctrl-W>.

Perhaps if you fixed the prompt?

Thanks, I was using octal and not hex. Is there a way to make it read input from outside the script so that I could press <esc> anytime and it would close? Sorry I know I'm like super noobie. Thanks though for your time ^_^	[reply]

As the other AM says, look at the Term namespace. I tried to find a core solution to you and found `getc`, but it's even its documentation points you to the CPAN module `Term::ReadKey`. Looks like now is as good a time as any to learn how to use CPAN (or PPM).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Okayy thanks! ^_^ I only really know the basics of creating a module and "use <module::function>".	[reply]
