I want to build a perl script that adapts dynamically to terminalsize I am working on a perl program which uses VT100 style escape codes and runs in gnome-terminal or konsole or rxterm or xterm or similar. I want to know if there is a way to sent an escape sequence to the terminal emulator which queries for the current size of the screen and gets a report back. Does anybody know how to do this? Many thanks, Jeff Silverman #### s**lil*; $*=join'',sort split q**; s;.*;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; = qq-$_-;s,.*,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$*,$/)
