Multi-Line Input

I'm trying to input into the console multiple lines of text. Once I press ENTER and type text, I want to be able to go back (move the cursor) to the previous line before hitting enter - sort of like a mini-editor in the console. This is for a quick email program that I'm putting together in Perl for Windows via ActiveState.

Anyway I can do this? Thanks!

re: Multi-Line Input


If you want to make a console application you would use Tk or Tkx that comes with activeperl. Besides that I have no idea how to do what you want, not even sure I understand what you want to do.
