Console Errors On Windows

octopusgrabbus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to debug a simple Perl script using Strawberry Perl. I ran into the exact errors mentioned in these PerlMonks posts

https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1059438

and

https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=840731 .

After fixing the first error regarding lines and columns

set LINES=40
set COLUMNS=80

and running these in a .bat file before starting the debugger, now I have a new error:

SetConsoleMode failed, LastError=|6| at C:/Perl/perl/vendor/lib/Term/ReadKey.pm line 346.

What else should I be doing to debug?

Did you try setting `TERM=dumb`, as was suggested in the reply Re: Problem Running Perl Debugger? (BTW: you can edit your post (How do I change/delete my post?) to use What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? (like `[id://1059438]` and `[id://840731]` to link to specific nodes), so the links are valid/clickable) (edit: fix link to What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?)

Thank you. I did not see the set TERM=dumb fix. That fixed it.	[reply]
