This Perl module makes the use of clearprompt(1) both simpler and more portable between UNIX and Windows. It handles UNIX/NT quoting and path issues transparently, manages creation, reading, and deletion of temp files in text/list/file modes, manages trigger series prompting, allows capture of messages to dialog boxes and/or email, and adds a clearprompt_dir() function to prompt for a directory. Note: a newer version may be present at http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/IPC/DSB/ .
