kbhit() in Perl???
Ernst Studer
Does anybody know, how to write the kbhit() function of C/C++ in Perl?
The function has to be usable for Unix/Linux...(so, it's not the same like
in conio.h of C/C++)
Functionality:
Return value is 0 when no key was pushed.
If a key was pushed, return value is != 0.
I hope someone has an answer for me.

feel the need to crosspost this widely. This message only goes to

Have a look in the Perl FAQ. `perldoc -q key` yields several bits of
useful code; one of them is `perldoc -q "input is ready"`.
Cheers,

That really is my address; no need to remove anything to reply.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

The module Term::Screen has a method key_pressed() that does exactly this.
