People often leave their terminal world writable. If you could do this to your terminal, you could do it to theirs as well. That would be quite a security problem. I'm sure that your intentions are noble. But we don't discuss ways to violate system security here. So I will close this thread. Thank you for your understanding.

term::size::any
Term::Size::Any(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Term::Size::Any(3pm)
NAME
Term::Size::Any - Retrieve terminal size
SYNOPSIS
# the traditional way
use Term::Size::Any qw( chars pixels );
($columns, $rows) = chars *STDOUT{IO};
($x, $y) = pixels;
DESCRIPTION
This is a unified interface to retrieve terminal size. It loads one module of a list of known alternatives, each implementing some way to
get the desired terminal information. This loaded module will actually do the job on behalf of "Term::Size::Any".
Thus, "Term::Size::Any" depends on the availability of one of these modules:
Term::Size (soon to be supported)
Term::Size::Perl
Term::Size::ReadKey (soon to be supported)
Term::Size::Win32
This release fallbacks to Term::Size::Win32 if running in Windows 32 systems. For other platforms, it uses the first of Term::Size::Perl,
Term::Size or Term::Size::ReadKey which loads successfully. (To be honest, I disabled the fallback to Term::Size and Term::Size::ReadKey
which are buggy by now.)
FUNCTIONS
The traditional interface is by importing functions "chars" and "pixels" into the caller's space.
chars
($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::Win32
