Yes, Term::ReadKey is what i am trying to use, see my example Code above. I seem to be doing it wrong though, as everytime i type something on my (attached to embedded box)keyboard , it just reads garbled characters instead of printing the string i actually typed.
what i really want is to read (or sth close to read) from the keyboard device in the same way i would read from a device attached to a normal serial port. | [reply] |
The link was supposed to be a nudge toword the docs...
Term::ReadKey doesn't mention that it needs a file handle to do it's reading, have you tried without opening the $fh yourself, and just letting it default to using the current TTY?
As for your nobody-logged-in issue, would it not be possible to spawn your perl scrpt from /etc/inittab? Then you will have everything you need set up (without having to log a user in via getty)
Also, have you managed to get the module to behave the way you want on a box with a display? (it'll make debugging easier atleast)
