Hello Balaji,
I have been using shell script for my admin work and recently decided to use perl fo all my automation. So proud I did that.
Nice to know that you have decided to use Perl.
Quick question: I have been using "Select" function in shell to present menu to users. Do we have a "select" equivalent in perl? Or if I have a list of names in an array what is the best way to present them in a menu and prompt the user to select one from the list?
The task is very easy to implement using IO::Prompt: =pod code use IO::Prompt; my @names = qw( foo bar baz qux ); my $selected_name = prompt 'Please select one name: ', -menu => \@names; print "Selected name: $selected_name\n"; =cut code Regards, Alan Haggai Alavi. -- The difference makes the difference -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] http://learn.perl.org/
