You can retrieve this history, or alter +the filehandle the interaction is printed to. See the +C<Term::UI::History> manpage or the C<SYNOPSIS> for details. + +=head1 METHODS + +=head2 $reply = $term->get_reply( prompt => 'question?', [choices => \@list, default => $list[0], multi => BOOL, print_me => "extra text to print & record", allow => $ref] ); + +C<get_reply> asks a user a question, and then returns the reply to the +caller. If the answer is invalid (more on that below), the question will +be reposed, until a satisfactory answer has been entered. + +You have the option of providing a list of choices the user can pick from +using the C<choices> argument. If the answer is not in the list of choices +presented, the question will be reposed. + +If you provide a C<default> answer, this will be returned when either +C<$AUTOREPLY> is set to true, (see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section further +below), or when the user just hits C<enter>. + +You can indicate that the user is allowed to enter multiple answers by +toggling the C<multi> flag. Note that a list of answers will then be +returned to you, rather than a simple string. + +By specifying an C<allow> hander, you can yourself validate the answer +a user gives. This can be any of the types that the Params::Check C<allow> +function allows, so please refer to that manpage for details. + +Finally, you have the option of adding a C<print_me> argument, which is +simply printed before the prompt. It's printed to the same file handle +as the rest of the questions, so you can use this to keep track of a +full session of Q&A with the user, and retrieve it later using the +C<< Term::UI->history_as_string >> function. + +See the C<EXAMPLES> section for samples of how to use this function. + +=cut + +sub get_reply { + my $term = shift; + my %hash = @_; + + my $tmpl = { + default => { default => undef, strict_type => 1 }, + prompt => { default => '', strict_type => 1, required => 1 }, + choices => { default => [], strict_type => 1 }, + multi => { default => 0, allow => [0, 1] }, + allow => { default => qr/.*/ }, + print_me => { default => '', strict_type => 1 }, + }; + + my $args = check( $tmpl, \%hash, $VERBOSE ) + or ( carp( loc(q[Could not parse arguments]) ), return ); + + + ### add this to the prompt to indicate the default + ### answer to the question if there is one. + my $prompt_add; + + ### if you supplied several choices to pick from, + ### we'll print them seperately before the prompt + if( @{$args->{choices}} ) { + my $i; + + for my $choice ( @{$args->{choices}} ) { + $i++; # the answer counter -- but humans start counting + # at 1 :D + + ### so this choice is the default? add it to 'prompt_add' + ### so we can construct a "foo?
