I would like to display the following :

28-Nov.16:04   DBUZULOI    branch type "dbuzuloi_ott.20" (locked)

If anyone is familiar, this is the way ClearCase does it for their
command output.

I tried using the ANSIColor package but it only works in UNIX and in
Windows NT I got fuuny looking results like this:

F:\Downloads\Perl>perl color.pl
?[31mDanger, Will Robinson!
?[0mThis is just normal text.
?[1mDo you hurt yet?
?[0m?[31;40mvenom lack

?[32;46;5mgarish!
?[0m?[31;40mvenom lack

?[0m?[1;34mThis text is bold blue.
?[0mThis text is normal.
?[33;45mYellow on magenta.
?[0mThis text is normal.

?[0m

Thanks for your help

I don't know if ANSI.SYS exists in Windows NT.

Then the best thing to do would be to write wrapper functions for
everything, or store the control strings in well-known variables that
you can just print appropriately.  Something like:

        if ($^O =~ /Win/) {
                $inverse=...... # The ANSI module's idea of inverse...
                $normal=...... # The ANSI module's idea of normal...
        } else {
                $inverse=`tput smso`;
                $normal=`tput rmso`;
        }

        print "This is a ${inverse}Hoot!${normal}.";
