Did you install it from CPAN, or just install the .pm file?
Term::ReadKey has an XS component that needs to be compiled
and installed correctly; that error message means that the
compiled shared object couldn't be found. Which means, most
likely, that it wasn't installed properly.
quickinstall won't work from CPAN cause its a windows computer... which means typing make at a dos prompt won't work either. i tried the stty option, but it says that POSIX::ttyname is not implemented. neither is POSIX::termios ... grrr.... could POSIX not be installed on my computer? if so, where can i find it (its not on CPAN). thanks a lot... again.
