BLURB
Term::ExtendedColor provides functions for sending so called extended escape
sequences, most notably colors. It can be used to set the current text
attributes or to apply a set of attributes to a string and reset the current
text attributes at the end of the string.
DESCRIPTION
This module does (almost) the same thing as the core Term::ANSIColor module,
plus a little more. First off, as the name suggests, it handles the extended
colorset - that means, the ANSI colors plus 240 extra colors, building up a
matrix of a total of 256 colors.
Exported are functions for setting the foreground as well as background
colors. Other attributes are supported as well - bold, italic, underline and
reverse.
There are support for doing the reverse thing - uncolor data; strip it from
escape sequences.
Support is included for redefining colors - use with care, though.
See the POD documentation for complete details, features and usage.
