Subject: It would be useful to be able to echo back a '*' in some cases
It would be useful to be able to echo back a '*' in some cases when prompting for the password. Could you consider additing it as an optional feature please? Cheers Sagar
Subject: Echoing stars
I've uploaded version 0.06 to CPAN; please check it out when it becomes available. If you set $Term::ReadPassword::USE_STARS to a true value, the password characters should echo as stars. Please let me know if you find any bugs. Cheers! --Tom Phoenix
Thanks very much for the quick response. That worked a treat!
