Pause

[smith]

On console output I need to pause before the user can continue. I know there is a way to do this in C/C++ but does perl have some equivalent function?

[KevinADC]

since I not familiar with C/++ I might be totaly wrong:

print "Waiting for user to input more data: ";
chomp(my $input = <STDIN>);

the perl program will wait until the user enters something

WWW::Mechanize for console?

Which method is better? Is WWW:Mechanize only for the web?

WWW::Mechanize - Handy web browsing in a Perl object

but I can't say what I posted is better because I don't know what your C code is doing...
