perladdict has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
I am trying to write a wrapper on view creation tool, that is developed in perl,its an commandline tool.
For every new view creation i have to repeate several steps by selecting argument option.
On command prompt i have to select the option and ENTER key to proceed to the fallowing step,i don't know
how to do event based scripting in perl,is there any way in perl to record keyboard events.
For reference below is the tool i am using.
[ 1] [l] LOOK at views of a different user [ 2] [c] CREATE a New View [ 3] [s] SYNCHRONIZE a view from another region [ 4] [d] DELETE (remove) one of the views below [ 5] [q] QUIT (exit from viewmgt) [ 6] patilr__070413_test_view1 [ 7] patilr__070420_test2 Action [1 - 7, letter shortcuts] ==>
After selecting anyone option i have to press enterkey to proceed nextstep,
how can i capture keyevent in script,Can any one help me to find a solution for this.
