this is cheating! I've loosed an hour trying all possible combinations and reading obfuscated docs..

from where this dotted syntax come from? Are the very same constants exported by :constants of Term::ANSIColor ?

PS after the below Anonymous Monks's explanation (++ for the hint) I searched a bit and I found here 1 Bold/Bright Applies brightness/intensity flag to foreground color so it seems that for them are synonymouses...

And reading more carefully Term::ANSIColor notes:

> Note that not all displays are ISO 6429-compliant, or even X3.64-compliant (or are even attempting to be so). This module will not work as expected on displays that do not honor these escape sequences, such as cmd.exe ..

This may explains why :constants exports unuseful stuffs when on windows: perhaps Win32::Console::ANSI needs some mention in it's docs..

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
