Subject: Doesn't work under XP (strawberry perl portable)
Pressing any key at a prompt results in: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at D:/strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-64bit-portable/perl/site/lib/IO/Prompter.pm line 1220. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at D:/strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-64bit-por table/perl/site/lib/IO/Prompter.pm line 1309. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at D:/strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-64bit-por table/perl/site/lib/IO/Prompter.pm line 1343. The keypress is ignored; you can't ctrl-c and have to kill the process.

Thanks for the update, Jeff. It seems that Term::ReadKey::GetControlChars() is not returning anything useful under your system. Unfortunately I don't have (or want ;-) access to a Windows platform to debug this. I have attempted to patch the module to ensure sensible defaults for the missing information, but have no idea whether those sensible (i.e. UNIX-y) defaults make sense under Windows. If you would like to try the attached version of Prompter.pm and let me know if it helps, I'd be most grateful. Damian
