HI,Lists,

Sorry, this time I can't login into my primary mailbox of 30gigs.So I change another email for this question.

When I get something from input such as:

my $passwd=<STDIN>;

the password typed on screen is clear plain text.How can I get it input as hide type such as ***?Thanks.

Some modules provide that, for instance IO::Prompt.
