Description : Term::ReadLine UI made easy
Term::UI is a transparent way of eliminating the overhead of having to
format a question and then validate the reply, informing the user if the
answer was not proper and re-issuing the question.
Simply give it the question you want to ask, optionally with choices the
user can pick from and a default and Term::UI will DWYM.
For asking a yes or no question, there's even a shortcut.
This module is being deprecated from the perl base distribution in
5.18.0, so it is planned to package it separately to provide continuity. The perl 5.18 packages will depend on, recommend or suggest deprecated modules for one release cycle, as appropriate.
