Re^2: strawberry perl fails when running debug

Interesting - I have that set by default when opening a new Command Prompt. It's a actually set as a System variable (as opposed to user) - although as Admin, I could have put it there as well. I just don't ever remember setting TERM=dumb. Wonder if I needed it for something else (e.g., Gnuplot comes to mind)?

Glad it worked out and thanks for posting solution.

`TERM=dumb` is needed also in windows by some Term::ReadLine feature to work correctly, if i reacall, autocomplete. Perhaps you are running the `portableshell.bat` that comes within Strawberry portable distros? infact normally that env var is not present in win7 The `portableshell.bat` launcher set this and other env vars before realease the control to the user L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
