Re^3: (WIN) copy and pasting from Perl-prints inside cmd.exe

FYI - on the same system - the same perl run from the powershell command line doe NOT introduce 150 spaces when copied.

So the extra space behaviour seems to be particular to Activestate perl and the windows 'cmd' prompt.

Thanks again. I didn't have time to look into the code, but I seem to remember that different file handles are used for the prompt and for the eval. Could be that the cmd.exe is messing it up. Or Activestate patched something. Good that I asked here, because initially I was blaming emacs, which added more headache to the scenario. ..

I just tested to run GIT's Perl inside a cmd.exe instead of a GIT-bash and copying worked fine so it's rather the perl/debugger version conflicting with the cmd.exe `> Git\usr\bin\perl.exe -de0 ...
