| Subject: | Lots of bugs in Windows |
Hello Damian,
After getting IO::Prompter installed on my Windows XP SP3 machine with
Strawberry Perl 5.10.1, I decided to see how it worked using your
examples. The three examples in the Synopsis all failed to work.
After changing "say" to "print" in the first example, the script still
hung after I entered a value.
When I echoed a password, even the enter key was echoed with an '*'.
When trying the third example, I entered an option letter, and the
cursor moved back to the beginning of the line and blinked balefully at
me right under the '>'.
So, I went further down the documentation to menus which is why I wanted
IO::Prompter. When using either an array or a hash, I would enter the
letter/number, and the cursor would move back to front of the line and
blink from underneath the '>'.
The only menu which did anything was the hierarchical menus.
It appears IO::Prompter is not viable in Windows. You may want to put a
big message somewhere towards the top of the documentation saying
IO::Prompter appears to be *nix only.
My perl-fu is very sad, so I would not know where to start to help you
fix IO::Prompter to work in Windows.
