Hi Monks,
I'm using ActiveState's perl and I downoaded the Term::ReadKey
module as my intention is to build a simple shell program.
I started my adventure with deciding to conquer ReadKey.
However, i am facing sme problems (as always).
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Term::ReadKey;
my $key;
ReadMode 'raw';
$key = ReadKey(0);
print "Key is ", ord($key), "\n";
ReadMode 0;
print "hit enter to exit...\n";
<>;
Now, above program works great for all keys, except
the Enter(\n) key. If i press Enter as the first key
The ReadKey function doesn't return until i press another key.
Is this a quirk with Term::ReadKey on windows platform,
or am i doing something wrong?
Thanx for any help

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
