Re^3: Reading directly from a keyboard device, not simply <STDIN>by f00li5h (Chaplain) |

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) @_=qw; ask f00li5h to appear and remain for a moment of pretend better than a lifetime;;s;;@_[map hex,split'',B204316D8C2A4516DE];;y/05/os/&print;
