NAME

IO::Prompt::Timeout - Simple prompt interface with timeout.

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Prompt::Timeout qw(:all);
my $answer = prompt('Yes or No? (y/n)', %option);
my $is_timeout = has_timed_out();

# Specifying timeout seconds
my $answer = prompt('Yes or No? (y/n) Answer in 10 seconds.', timeout => 10);

# Specifying default answer
my $answer = prompt('Yes or No? (y/n)', default => 'n');

DESCRIPTION

IO::Prompt::Timeout provides prompt subroutine most of which comes from ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

It also has timeout feature just like Prompt::Timeout. The default timeout seconds is 60. When prompt timed out, the default answer can be taken when it's set by option.

Unlike Prompt::Timeout, this module uses simple $SIG{ALRM}. The function of clearing timer by a single key click is not supported which is implemented in Prompt::Timeout.
