ANSIColor (2.02)

Saves all that tedious mucking about with escape codes. Recommended.

If you ever wondered how to use colours in the terminal in order to highlight information, look no further than this module. It accomplishes it in a portable, easy to use way with a convenient interface.

Some case studies I did:

1. http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Run-Plugin-ColorSummary/ - colour the summary line of the test results.

2. http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg52876.html - colour arbitrary regexes in log output.

I love adding color to my xterm. This module makes it so easy with print! Xterm coloring + the power of perl == Supremeness! I'm so glad I didn't have to hardcode the xterm coloring escape codes!

An excellent little module. Good interface, well-documented. A quick demo:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Term::ANSIColor;

@colors = qw(black red yellow green cyan blue magenta);

foreach $fg (@colors) {
print color("bold $fg") . ' Hello! ' . color('reset');

foreach $bg (@colors) {
$bg eq $fg ? print color("white on_$bg") : print color("$fg on_$bg");
print ' Hello! ' . color('reset');
}

print "\n";
}
