| HI,Lists,
Sorry, this time I can't login into my primary mailbox of 30gigs.So I
change another email for this question.
When I get something from input such as:
my $passwd=<STDIN>;
the password typed on screen is clear plain text.How can I get it input
as hide type such as ***?Thanks.

Some modules provide that, for instance IO::Prompt.

perldoc -q password
=>
"How do I ask the user for a password?"
"...
use Term::ReadKey;
ReadMode('noecho');
$password = ReadLine(0);
...."
I would add a
ReadMode('normal');
otherwise your terminal could stay in noecho mode.
