`perldoc -f getc` has information that you may find useful.

    getc won't do what the OP wanted. From perldoc:
    However, it cannot be used by itself to fetch single characters without waiting for the user to hit enter

[d/l]
[select]

      I didn't recommend using getc. I recommended reading the getc documentation, because the majority of the getc documentation is devoted to solving the OP's problem.

      Thanks,
