Re: How do I make password prompts not echo back the user?

⭐ in reply to How do I make password prompts not echo back the user?

Use Term::Readkey. It is more portable than the unix-only solution of stty. Here's a quick example (untested):

use Term::ReadKey;
print "Type your password:";
ReadMode('noecho'); # don't echo
chomp(my $password = <STDIN>);
ReadMode(0);        # back to normal
