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...)

Thanks Iain

Err, I managed to completely misread your email. Sorry. Unfortunately, ansi-terminal does NOT support disabling the echo and I don't plan to support it. However, given that I already provide non-ANSI features from it, patches would be happily accepted :-) Cheers, Max 2009/10/13 Max Bolingbroke :

Yes, ansi-terminal supports this. Try:

setSGR [SetBlinkSpeed NoBlink]

Cheers, Max
