NAME

       Term::Size::Perl - Perl extension for retrieving terminal size (Perl version)

SYNOPSIS

           use Term::Size::Perl;

           ($columns, $rows) = Term::Size::Perl::chars *STDOUT{IO};
           ($x, $y) = Term::Size::Perl::pixels;

DESCRIPTION

       Yet another implementation of "Term::Size". Now in pure Perl, with the exception of a C
       probe run on build time.

   FUNCTIONS
       chars
               ($columns, $rows) = chars($h);
               $columns = chars($h);

           "chars" returns the terminal size in units of characters corresponding to the given
           filehandle $h.  If the argument is omitted, *STDIN{IO} is used.  In scalar context, it
           returns the terminal width.

       pixels
               ($x, $y) = pixels($h);
               $x = pixels($h);

           "pixels" returns the terminal size in units of pixels corresponding to the given
           filehandle $h.  If the argument is omitted, *STDIN{IO} is used.  In scalar context, it
           returns the terminal width.

           Many systems with character-only terminals will return "(0, 0)".

SEE ALSO

       It all began with Term::Size by Tim Goodwin. You may want to have a look at:

           Term::Size
           Term::Size::Unix
           Term::Size::Win32
           Term::Size::ReadKey

       It would be helpful if you send me the Params.pm generated by the probe at build time.

BUGS

       I am having some hard time to make tests run correctly under the "cpan" script. Some Unix
       systems do not seem to provide a working tty inside automatic installers. I think it needs
       some skip tests, but I am yet not sure what should be the portable tests for this.

       Update: This distribution uses new tests to skip if filehandle is not a tty. It was
       noticed that "Test::Harness" and "prove", for instance, provide a non-tty STDOUT to the
       test script and automatic installers could provide a non-tty STDIN. So the former tests
       were basically wrong. I am improving my understanding of the involved issues and I hope to
       soon fix the tests for all of Term::Size modules.
