Subject: Doesn't restore file handles
I'm using ActiveState 5.6 build 635 on Windows XP and have found that read_password does not restore the STDIN and STDERR file handles. This means that after using read_password input and error output is broken. Nothing comes in or goes out.

Maybe it is due to the Win32::Console module, which is used by Term::ReadPassword::Win32. See the reported bug http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33513 on the libwin32 distribution. It gives a workaround (closing and re-opening the STDxxx on the Windows console).
