Hi Monks,
I'm using ActiveState's perl and I downoaded the Term::ReadKey
module as my intention is to build a simple shell program.
I started my adventure with deciding to conquer ReadKey.
However, i am facing sme problems (as always).

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Term::ReadKey;

my $key;

ReadMode 'raw';
$key = ReadKey(0);
print "Key is ", ord($key), "\n";
ReadMode 0;

print "hit enter to exit...\n";
<>;

[download]
Now, above program works great for all keys, except
the Enter(\n) key. If i press Enter as the first key
The ReadKey function doesn't return until i press another key.
Is this a quirk with Term::ReadKey on windows platform,
or am i doing something wrong?

Thanx for any help
