Hi,
I am trying to print something on my screen at specific location. Do
we have anything equivalent to gotoxy() , as we have in C language, in
Perl? I tried using Term::Cap but not getting any success.
Getting an error message : "TERM not set at...".

I am trying to run my perl script on Windows envt.
Perl version = v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

gotoxy() is not a C language function, it is a Curses function:

Thanks John for providing me link. I believe, I will have to install
Curses as its not available in perl version I am using.
Maybe one way to get what you want is to install Ruby and borrow the curses.
I frankly don't know a curse from a gem or a rake, but since Ruby was
created using MVC++6, it might be better for windows stuff than the
equivalent from perl.
