The link was supposed to be a nudge toword the docs...

Term::ReadKey doesn't mention that it needs a file handle to do it's reading, have you tried without opening the $fh yourself, and just letting it default to using the current TTY?

As for your nobody-logged-in issue, would it not be possible to spawn your perl scrpt from /etc/inittab? Then you will have everything you need set up (without having to log a user in via getty)

Also, have you managed to get the module to behave the way you want on a box with a display? (it'll make debugging easier atleast)
