Interactive prompt in perl

What is an easy way to provide a string value to my user and let the user edit it... without him having to retype the whole string if it's not 100% correct.

Or if you have Perl 5.10.0 or higher, try Damian Conway's IO::Prompter (the successor to IO::Prompt). I wish I could use it for its timeout feature, but alas I'm stuck on Perl 5.8.8.

Or for something a bit higher level, perhaps IO::Prompt

See Term::Prompt or Prompt::ReadKey.

Though it's difficult to tell for sure what you're asking for, you probably want Term::ReadLine.
