Actually, I am doing one project. In that I want to implement the command line features as like in linux terminal.

And I saw this in ftp command also.

If I press tab I need to list the commands. If I press control characters I need to get that characters based on that I will do some action. And If I give any commands it should execute.

For this I tried with Term::ReadKey that is non canonical mode. But here I am facing more problems like, If I press any control character or arrow I got three characters.

Ex: for up arrow I got ascii as 279165.

Can anyone help me out of this problem?

And I feel that there will be a better solution for this.

Thanks in Advance.
