NAME Term::Size::Any - Retrieve terminal size SYNOPSIS # the traditional way use Term::Size::Any qw( chars pixels ); ($columns, $rows) = chars *STDOUT{IO}; ($x, $y) = pixels; DESCRIPTION This is a unified interface to retrieve terminal size. It loads one module of a list of known alternatives, each implementing some way to get the desired terminal information. This loaded module will actually do the job on behalf of `Term::Size::Any'. Thus, `Term::Size::Any' depends on the availability of one of these modules: Term::Size (soon to be supported) Term::Size::Perl Term::Size::ReadKey (soon to be supported) Term::Size::Win32 This release fallbacks to Term::Size::Win32 if running in Windows 32 systems. For other platforms, it uses the first of Term::Size::Perl, Term::Size or Term::Size::ReadKey which loads successfully. (To be honest, I disabled the fallback to Term::Size and Term::Size::ReadKey which are buggy by now.) FUNCTIONS The traditional interface is by importing functions `chars' and `pixels' into the caller's space. chars ($columns, $rows) = chars($h); $columns = chars($h); `chars' returns the terminal size in units of characters corresponding to the given filehandle `$h'. If the argument is ommitted, `*STDIN{IO}' is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width. pixels ($x, $y) = pixels($h); $x = pixels($h); `pixels' returns the terminal size in units of pixels corresponding to the given filehandle `$h'. If the argument is ommitted, `*STDIN{IO}' is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width. Many systems with character-only terminals will return `(0, 0)'.
