Printing to screen in PERL...

[bcarroll]

I am looking for a way to print to a specific column/row on the screen, like to old locate command in BASIC.

Does this or an alternative way to do this exist in PERL?

Thanks,

your question is a bit vague. I dont think your looking for print "\n\n\n"; #print 3 rows
ptinr "\t\t\t\t$info"; #tab 4 columns and print variable

If your looking for a way to format the screen output look at format write stuff for perl

I am familiar with the format function, but was looking for more of a way to print to a specific part of the screen as well as to delete from a specific part of the screen.

The curses module should be able to do this, but I am having trouble locating the curses module for Win32.

Have you checked CPAN?

It appears this might do the trick for you.
