$width = **term\_size()**

Get the width of the terminal.

If the $TABLE\_TERM\_SIZE environment variable is set then that value will be returned.

This will default to 80 if there is no good way to get the size, or if the size is unreasonably small.

If Term::ReadKey is installed it will be used.

$width = uni\_length($string)

Get the width (in columns) of the specified string. When Unicode::GCString is installed this will work on unicode strings, otherwise it will just use length($string).
