system "clear";
Not terribly portable but that is ok.
Neither is 'use Win32::xxx', but that's not the point. He's writing a Perl program on (and for use on) a Windows machine.
How was that determined? His original script didn't have any 'use Win32:xxx's in it, I was actually thinking it wasn't portable to windows since I wasn't aware 'clear' was available there. It was meant more as a pointer rather than an issue, hence the words "Not terribly" and "that is ok", as opposed to "you should never do this"....
Just trying to prevent overuse of 'system' when it isn't needed, probably because of the code I had to look at for the last 6 months before I got to change it all ;-).....
