Subject: Failures building on Win32 - END {} causes GetConsoleMode() to throw an error.
Current the test.pl script in the Term-Readkey distro does the following: END { ReadMode 0, IN } # Just if something goes weird exit(0) unless $interactive; The END { } block for some reasons throws the following error: GetConsoleMode failed, handle=|3|, whnd=|-1|, LastError=|6| at blib\lib/Term/ReadKey.pm line 265. (I hacked the error message to show handle and whnd as well as last error. Error 6 is "invalid handle". ) Im not sure I follow this, but once i changed the test file to exit(0) unless $interactive; END { ReadMode 0, IN if $interactive } # Just if something goes weird the error goes away. I dont exactly follow the problem at hand, but id be happy to test further if you like.

Hi, The site of error is slightly misleading (and is more to do with the difficulty of doing a non-interactive test.) The actual problem is that you have built Term::ReadKey using a different compiler (or C runtime) than that which was used to build your Perl - the module needs to use OS level filehandles that are shared with the perl. These are basically static data within the C runtime on windows and if a different compiler and/or runtime library is used the required data structures don't exist and Term::ReadKey won't work at all.
