Greetings Monks,

When using Term::Prompt on cygwin the say statement doesn't terminate with a crlf anymore:

Without Term::Prompt:

$ perl -e 'use Modern::Perl; say "the quick brown fox"; say "jumps ove +r the lazy dog.";' the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

With Term::Prompt:

$ perl -e 'use Term::Prompt; use Modern::Perl; my $p = prompt( "y", "s +tart?", "", ""); say "the quick brown fox"; say "jumps over the lazy +dog.";' start? (y or n) [default n] the quick brown foxjumps over the lazy dog.

Did I run into a bug or am I missing something important? I know cygwin does special things with crlf...

The say statement is a shortcut for { local $\="\n"; print "some string" } and this code block experiences the same behaviour:

$ perl -e 'use Term::Prompt; my $p = prompt( "y", "start?", "", ""); { + local $\="\n"; print "the quick brown fox"}; { local $\="\n"; print +"jumps over the lazy dog."}' start? (y or n) [default n] the quick brown foxjumps over the lazy dog.

Strange... Can anyone explain? This code below works correctly.

$ perl -e 'use Term::Prompt; my $p = prompt( "y", "start?", "", ""); p +rint "the quick brown fox\n" ; print "jumps over the lazy dog."' start? (y or n) [default n] the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

In reply to Term::Prompt breaks say in Modern::Perl because of Term::Readkey (edited, was "Modern::Perl and cygwin") by gargle
