Term::ExtendedColor version 0.12 Copyright 2010 Magnus Woldrich <magnus@trapd00r.se>. This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. I welcome bug reports and patches for this package at magnus@trapd00r.se. BLURB Term::ExtendedColor provides functions for sending so called extended escape sequences, most notably colors. It can be used to set the current text attributes or to apply a set of attributes to a string and reset the current text attributes at the end of the string. DESCRIPTION This module does (almost) the same thing as the core Term::ANSIColor module, plus a little more. First off, as the name suggests, it handles the extended colorset - that means, the ANSI colors plus 240 extra colors, building up a matrix of a total of 256 colors. Exported are functions for setting the foreground as well as background colors. Other attributes are supported as well - bold, italic, underline and reverse. There are support for doing the reverse thing - uncolor data; strip it from escape sequences. Support is included for redefining colors - use with care, though. See the POD documentation for complete details, features and usage. REQUIREMENTS Term::ExtendedColor is written in pure Perl and has no module dependencies that aren't found in Perl core. The test suite requires the Test::More module. To check the POD documentation, Test::Pod is also required.
