| Subject: | IO::Prompt and Windows - bad tests/incompatibilities |
In perldoc IO::Prompt:
Show quoted text
>INCOMPATIBILITIES
> None reported.
So I installed it under WindowsXP (see attached log; I used MS Visual
C++ 6)
Next, I gave it a try with:
[code]
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Prompt;
use Carp;
while( prompt "next: " ) { ### line 7
print "You said '$_'\n";
}
[/code]
It can't open /dev/tty (well, that doesn't exist under windows) and
complains about: "Cannot write to terminal: No such file or directory
at io_prompt.pl line 7". But nmake test succeeded.
In perldoc:
Show quoted text> "Cannot write to terminal: %s"
> "Cannot read from terminal: %s"
> "prompt()" attempted to access the terminal but couldn't. This
may
Show quoted text> mean your environment has no "/dev/tty" available, in which
case

Proposed Bugfixes:
1. write to perldoc -> incompatibilities that an operating system
with /dev/tty is required
2. add some tests (load and 2 times pod seems to be not enough, one
which tries to open /dev/tty would really be helpful).
Best regards,
Martin Fabiani (aka Strat)
