Term::Complete - Perl word completion module
SYNOPSIS
$input = Complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);
$input = Complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);
DESCRIPTION
This routine provides word completion on the list of words in the array (or array ref).
The tty driver is put into raw mode and restored using an operating system specific command, in UNIX-like environments "stty".
The following command characters are defined:
<tab>
Attempts word completion. Cannot be changed.
^D Prints completion list. Defined by $Term::Complete::complete.
^U Erases the current input. Defined by $Term::Complete::kill.
<del>, <bs>
Erases one character. Defined by $Term::Complete::erase1 and $Term::Complete::erase2.
DIAGNOSTICS
Bell sounds when word completion fails.
BUGS
The completion character <tab> cannot be changed.

Term::Size::Perl - Perl extension for retrieving terminal size (Perl version)
SYNOPSIS
use Term::Size::Perl;
($columns, $rows) = Term::Size::Perl::chars *STDOUT{IO};
($x, $y) = Term::Size::Perl::pixels;
DESCRIPTION
Yet another implementation of "Term::Size". Now in pure Perl, with the exception of a C probe run on build time.
FUNCTIONS
chars
($columns, $rows) = chars($h);
$columns = chars($h);
"chars" returns the terminal size in units of characters corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted,
*STDIN{IO} is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width.
pixels
($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 omitted, *STDIN{IO}
is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width.
Many systems with character-only terminals will return "(0, 0)".
SEE ALSO
It all began with Term::Size by Tim Goodwin. You may want to have a look at:
Term::Size
Term::Size::Unix
Term::Size::Win32
Term::Size::ReadKey
It would be helpful if you send me the Params.pm generated by the probe at build time. Please reports bugs via CPAN RT,

BUGS
I am having some hard time to make tests run correctly under the "cpan" script. Some Unix systems do not seem to provide a working tty
inside automatic installers. I think it needs some skip tests, but I am yet not sure what should be the portable tests for this.
Update: This distribution uses new tests to skip if filehandle is not a tty. It was noticed that "Test::Harness" and "prove", for instance,
provide a non-tty STDOUT to the test script and automatic installers could provide a non-tty STDIN. So the former tests were basically
wrong. I am improving my understanding of the involved issues and I hope to soon fix the tests for all of Term::Size modules.
