Hey, This is my first perl submission. I just started yesterday, and I found that there was no clear screen function (Like cls). Well, I figured out a way to do it (I think it only works in dos, but I think I know the way for unix too). KEYWORDS: CLEAR clear CLS cls Screen SCREEN screen Blank

system "cls"; # for DOS
system "clear"; # for Unix
#What this does is it actually uses the already existing clear functions that these OSs provide. Very short, simple, and it works ;-)

You've shown the mind of a true programmer with this code: you saw your tools didn't do something and you extended them to do it. It might not be the most sophisticated code on earth but it's a good start!! Keep up the good work.

I am learning Ruby for now, and I have seen such codes . system(""),inside the double quotes , we have to fill in the system command,what ever be the DOS command it is exceuted. But in Ruby we have to include the command file and make use of this module or just use `` command in between these quotes.
thanks
