Term::Readkey also works but is poorly documented.

Does anyone know how to use the hex values from keysymdef.h (which
includes the entire extended keyboard) in a perl statement? So, eg.

if ($char eq "0x0057") {etc...}

Or where to get values for printf "\U" "\u" that will work?


I took a look of Term::Getkeys and Term::Readkey and tested some test code
but none helped me.

I want to read the following keys [home][End][Pageup][Page down]

please if someone has the tested version that read these keys I 'll
appreciate the solution .
