Subject: Native ANSI mode
It might be worth turning the module into a virtual noop for modern Windows (Win10 1511+) by having it enable native ANSI support with ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING console mode when applicable instead of the module's implementation.

After some experimentation I see this is the case. The documentation just doesn't make it as clear as it could. i.e; before listing all of the escapes and special functions, the dox could indicate that loading the module gives a Win32::Console basic VT compatability.

P.S. At the risk of the URL going stale, a link to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences in SEE ALSO might also be handy and possibly allow some of the POD to be reduced.
