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.  Please reports
       bugs via CPAN RT, http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Term-Size-Perl


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.
