  # perl6-Proc-Screen
  
  Perl6 programmatic interface for manipulating GNU screen sesssions
  
  ## Status
  
  This is in "release early" status. Basic use of Proc::Screen may
  work and Test::Screen may also work, but has very few available tests.
  The version of GNU screen must be 4.02 (a.k.a. 4.2) or greater since
  there is no way I know of to get the session ID back from a detached launch
  on prior versions.
  
  ## Proc::Screen
  
  Proc::Screen currently allows you to silently create screen sessions
  and send commands to them. Eventually managing previously created
  screen sessions and support for programmatic generation of screenrc
  and screen commandlines is planned, but for now the main objective
  is to provide only what Test::Screen needs.
  
  ## Test::Screen
  
  Test::Screen will allow development environments that contain or
  interface to interactive terminal applications to run non-interactive
  tests on an emulated terminal. This is not as thorough as interactive
  tests on actual terminals, but it is better than no testing at all.
  
  ## External Requirements
  
  GNU screen wil not be available everywhere that a Perl6 application may
  be installed, so both packages gracefully "pass" tests unless it
  is detected. To actually run tests, screen should be installed
  and from the perspective of the test environment, should be findable
  as an executable named "screen" -- this does not need to be the
  case for general use, as the package can work with custom installations,
  it just needs to be that way for automated testing.
