Subject: Term::Size will not install correctly with cpan or cpanp.
I tried to install Term::Size 3 times with cpan and once with cpanp, but it is not showing up in @INC. Here is the output from the install tries with cpan. - 1st try CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v5.834) CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9719) Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.71) CPAN: CPAN::SQLite loaded ok (v0.199) Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/modules/03modlist.data.gz Database was generated on Tue, 17 Sep 2013 10:12:36 GMT Updating database file ...

I don't know what went wrong. It just is not showing up in @INC.
Addendum: I have Perl 5.10.1 with Windows XP SP3.
Term::Size was never supposed to work on Windows, only Unix because it uses Unix-centric ioctl() functions. Sorry that it was not clear. You may try Term::Size::Win32 https://metacpan.org/release/Term-Size-Win32
