changing text color VT100 terminal emulator

[nkamp1]

Hello,

I'am running some perl scripts and if somenthing is not succesfully then i give the user some information. To make it more convenient to the user I will give this text some color. I have tried different things but is doesn't help. I achieve to make the text bold and italic but not to change the color. Is this not possible because of the VT100 emulation or is something else.
code example:
$TERM::ANSIColor
print BOLD BLUE "Een stukje tekst in kleur blauw\n";

second example which is working:
print color 'bold reverse blink on_red';
print "A text is printed in reverse\n";
print color 'reset';

Hey nkamp1,
Sorry I don't have a response, just wondering where you can find documentation on what you've been using to change the font characteristics in VT100 emulation? Thanks.

Hello Robert,

Just with google. I try to find it again but I can't find it on this moment. The subject on which I was searching was something like "perl color" or "perl textcolor". Then I come to some "HOW TO" sides where I could find some information.

Nico.
