Ok, I went to install IO::Prompt. For whatever reason, the CPAN module wanted to install v0.02. Blech.

So I downloaded 0.99.2. It wanted "version". Fine, CPAN installed that ok. perl Build.PL, ./Build, ./Build test. Now it decides it wants Want. Why didn't it tell me this during the Build.PL stage?

Ok, got it installed. Remove everything to do with Pod::Usage. Still doesn't work.

Change my $avi = $ARGV[0]; to my $avi = shift;. Works now. Put back Pod::Usage stuff. Still works.

Seems that IO::Prompt wants to take stuff from the command line if there's anything there before going to the console. ;-)
