ok...
don't know how to display '*'s but you can turn off the display whilst the user is entering the password.
#!/path/to/perl
system('stty -echo')
print "Enter Password: ";
$pass = <>;
system('stty -echo')

Hi there,
Bad Command or filename, that looks like a DOS (Windows) error message to me... Aren't you using the UNIX command line? Mike

Mike shouldn't your second system call be "system('stty echo')"? Otherwise you're still turning echo off. Don't have my RH box handy to test it.
