I typically use something like: $clear = `clear`; print "$clear"; Make sure the clear command is in your path ('which clear' from the shell will tell you if/where it is). Saving the results of the clear command to a variable saves you from having to make a system call every time you want to clear the screen (helpful if it is something you are doing often in the program).
