Win32 console/curses app, how to?

I'm making another rogue-like game with Perl on Win32 (WinXP in DOS box). Someone said that I should look at Term::ANSIScreen or WIN32::Console to do cursor positioning and screen management. Is there a website on how to use these 2 modules? Google simply returns 10,000 useless results and the

Tutorial on using Win32::Console?

I'm making a rogue-like game on Win32 (WinXP in DOS box). No I will not release it, I just want practice doing this. What is the best thing to use for placing a character at various points on the screen? Win32::Console or Term::AnsiColor? Is there a tutorial on using Win32::Console? The perl do

Tutorial on using Win32::Console

I don't think my previous message went through. I'm writing a rogue-like game on Win32 (WinXP in a DOS box). I won't be releasing it, I just want practice doing this. Is it better to use Term::AnsiColor or Win32::Console for placing characters in random places on the screen? Also, where can

split function

Hi! Can the perl split function split a random 40 character string into five 8 character strings? With random I mean that there is no special pattern in the 40 character string that can be used as split markers. Yahoo! Mail - Gratis: 6 MB lagerplads, spamfilter og virusscan

the x operator

Hi! Is it possible to avoid another loop by using the x operator? I.e. push(@list, rand(4)); gives me one element in @list. Can I somehow use the x operator to produce two different elements in the @list?

speed up string matching

Hi! I need to match an expression and its reverse to a very long string. When a match occurs all matching should stop and the position of the match should be returned. Question1: can I match the forward and reverse expression to the string on the same time and thereby save half the time it no

Hi! How can I easily cancatenate two lists? i.e. @list1 = qw(1 2 3); @list2 = qw(4 5 6); do some thing easy. result: @list3 = qw(1 2 3 4 5 6); I preferrably want to avoid the sequence: foreach element in list...shift...push to another listand so on, because I ha
