Current Perl documentation can be found at perldoc.perl.org.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:

How you access/control keyboards, screens, and pointing devices (``mice'') is system-dependent. Try the following modules:

Keyboard

    Term::Cap                   Standard perl distribution
    Term::ReadKey               CPAN
    Term::ReadLine::Gnu         CPAN
    Term::ReadLine::Perl        CPAN
    Term::Screen                CPAN

Screen

    Term::Cap                   Standard perl distribution
    Curses                      CPAN
    Term::ANSIColor             CPAN

Mouse

    Tk                          CPAN

Some of these specific cases are shown below.
