Under Windows with cygwin, \n is fed to the screen without \r, meaning that the next line is indented. For example: Username: myuser Password: ******* This is just not very pretty in the above example, and can be worked around by extra print commands between prompt() calls, but with menus, it can get very confusing for the user: Menu: a. option a b. option b c. option c Enough of them, and the line wraps.

This module is no longer under active development or maintenance. Please use IO::Prompter instead, and report if that module exhibits similar problems. Many thanks, Damian

Thanks for the swift reply. I'll check. In the mean time, might I suggest that you update the documentation to reflect the above? Regards Jeff
