Hello LloydRice,

I can’t reproduce your problem:

16:47 >perl -Mstrict -MWin32::Console -we "my $cons = new Win32::Conso
+le STD_INPUT_HANDLE;"

16:47 >

What versions of Perl and of Win32::Console are you using? (I’m using Win32::Console version 0.10 and running 64-bit Strawberry Perl 5.26.0 under Windows 8.1.)

I am hazy on most of the object code practices.

The preferred syntax is: my $cons = Win32::Console->new(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); (but I doubt that the syntax of the call to new has any bearing on the error message you are seeing).

Update: The statement my $cons = new Win32::Console STD_INPUT_HANDLE; is an example of “Indirect Object Syntax” which is documented in perlobj#Invoking-Class-Methods.

Cheers,
