I'm looking for a library like Perl's Term-Readkey, so that I can turn on and off the echo for secure password input from a terminal. Anyone know which library I need to use for this?
The package ansi-terminal allows you to do various things to the terminal; I think it might include turning local echo on/off. Alternatively, there was an announcement recently about a text-mode UI package, which might do what you want. (I don't recall the name...)
