Module doesn't work under any version of Windows (except in Cygwin environment). I need to add a test in Makefile.PL that returns "unsupported". -- RGiersig@cpan.org

Roland, Thanks for the followup; after digging around with Google I discovered this independently. Regards, Scott On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 7:51 AM, Roland Giersig via RT < bug-IO-Tty@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Found the following line in conf/compilerok.log under Vista x86 w/o cygwin: <command line>:3:1: macro names must be identifiers The problem was in Makefile.PL, line 8. (escape shell-metachars) POSIX don't care about escaped underscores, but Windows does. So change Makefile.PL:8 from $flags =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9 -])/\\$1/g; # escape shell-metachars to $flags =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9 -_])/\\$1/g; # escape shell-metachars or maybe (untested) $flags =~ s/([^\w -])/\\$1/g; # escape shell-metachars Regards Peter

I've added your suggested patch and we'll see how this tests on CPAN testers. http://github.com/toddr/IO-Tty/commit/577f20db8f1f2a885c98da44611b94a78fb46b43
