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,

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.
