Release 0.2 of Term::Size is now available from a CPAN near you.  This
is an alpha release.

The Term::Size module provides a straightforward way to discover the
size of the window a Perl script is running in, either in characters or
pixels.  A good use of Term::Size would be in a Perl reimplementation of
the `ls' command: it needs to know the terminal width (so it can arrange
its output in columns), but doesn't need the full complexity of Curses.

Help save the world!  Term::Size works on BSD systems, and hybrids such
as Solaris 2 and Linux.  If you think you can help me make Term::Size
work on other Unix variants, Plan 9, VMS, WNT, etc., please get in
touch.

Tim.
