Hi List
I just upgraded from woody to sid (perl 5.6 to perl 5.8) and noticed one of
my important scripts not to work anymore. It uses Term::ReadKey to break a
loop if I type in "x" or "X":
# This is a very reduced form of what I need...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Term::ReadKey;
ReadMode 'cbreak';
AUSSEN: for ($i=0; $i<= 100; $i++){
print "$i";
if (defined ($char = ReadKey(-1)) ) {
if ($char =~ /[xX]/){
print "\nInterrupted!\n";
last AUSSEN;
}
} else {
sleep 1;
}
}
print "\nNicht Abgebrochen!\n";
ReadMode 'normal';
# end snippet
This should print out numbers from 1 to 10, and bread and print out
"Interrupted!" and exit.
This is not the case. Did I miss something? The example on www.perldoc.com
looks just the same...
thanks
joerg
