OT: I Need Help From Windows Experts

I'm converting a UNIX AWK program I wrote to display a 3-month
calendar from any date from 01/01/0001 to 12/31/9999 with the
target month and date in hightlighed video into Perl (so it can
be used on Windows as well as UNIX and Linux).

In UNIX and Linux I can easily get the terminal control codes that
start and stop reverse video.  In Windows I'm at a complete loss.

The REAL question:

  Can anyone reading this give me the codes that, in a Perl
  program, can be used on Windows to Start-Stop Reverse Video?

Bob

PS - This will be a free program, when I get it done (or even
     before I get it done), for anyone who requests it.

PSS - Even as it is, it prints Year Calendars from 01/01/0001
      to 12/31/9999, or Highted Month/Date Month 3-Month ones
      on UNIX/Linux, or UnHighted ones on Windows.

PSPS - I've checked my program with a Perpetual Calendar program
       on the InterNet, and they agree.
