Subject: cls does not reset location as per documentation.

 

This only clears the screen, but retains the terminal position where it was.
perl -MTerm::ANSIScreen=cls -E' cls '
 

perl -MTerm::ANSIScreen=cls -E' cls ' |& xxd
00000000: 1b5b 324a                                .[2J


For proper clear-screen emulation, one needs to do:

perl -MTerm::ANSIScreen=cls,locate -E' cls; locate(1,1)'

perl -MTerm::ANSIScreen=cls,locate -E' cls; locate(1,1)' |& xxd
