NAME
       IO::Prompt::Tiny - Prompt for user input with a default option


VERSION
       version 0.003


SYNOPSIS
         use IO::Prompt::Tiny qw/prompt/;

         my $answer = prompt("Yes or no? (y/n)", "n");


DESCRIPTION
       This is an extremely simple prompting module, based on the extremely simple prompt offered by
       ExtUtils::MakeMaker.In many cases, that's all you need and this module gives it to you without all the
       overhead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker just to prompt for input.

       It doesn't do any validation, coloring, menus, timeouts, or any of the wild, crazy, cool stuff that other
       prompting modules do.  It just prompts with a default.  That's it!


USAGE
       The following function may be explicitly imported. No functions are imported by default.

   prompt
           my $value = prompt($message);
           my $value = prompt($message, $default);

       The prompt() function displays the message as a prompt for input and returns the (chomped) response from
       the user, or the default if the response was empty.

       If the program is not running interactively or if the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable is set to
       true, the default will be used without prompting.

       If no default is provided, an empty string will be used instead.

       Unlike ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt(), this prompt() does not use prototypes, so this will work as
       expected:

         my @args = ($prompt, $default);
         prompt(@args);


ENVIRONMENT
   PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT
       If set to a true value, IO::Prompt::Tiny will always return the default without waiting for user input,
       just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker does.


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
       The guts of this module are based on ExtUtils::MakeMaker and IO::Interactive::Tiny (which is based on
       IO::Interactive).  Thank you to the authors of those modules.
