Clearing the screen

[NAB]

Hi

I know there is probably a really simple solution to this problem, but I cant find it in any documentation that I look at.

I want to be able to clear the screen halfway through my Perl script.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Lorraine

if you are using a unix type system you can use
`clear`;
or on a windows machine,
`cls`;

As far as perl goes, you have to do a system call, like:

$command = "clear"; # or cls for Windoze
system($command);

#This should clear the screen for you.
