[Robert Meyer]

Hi NG,

sorry for my question, but i didn't found anything about how to clear the
terminal.
I try `clear`; in the script but this does not work.

Any ideas?

thx
Robert

system("clear"); # would probably work for you

I imagine that the clear command is printing ansi control characters
to stdout, so the back ticks would keep the control characters from
actually going to the terminal.

Is there a cross OS solution?

You can always print the output of clear:
print `clear`;

That's about as useful as doing

echo `ls -l`
