Assume I have opened a terminal and already performed some commands which produced some
output lines.
output lines.
Then I start a perl script which outputs also some line of text.
However I want at first all previous output lines in the terminal to be wiped.
All output should start with an "empty" terminal (of cause beside the prompt).
How can I wipe all old stuff?
In Windows command prompt there is a "cls" command but is not working in
perl/Linux terminals.
Is there an equivalent command?
