Well ... maybe it's *me* who's the odd one out. Wouldn't be the first time.

I, too, have Term::ReadLine-1.03, which pretty much rules it out. And I also have an XP box with AS perl-5.10.0 (build 1004) on it.

Only difference between our environments that might be significant (afaict) is that I do have other shells installed. I have cygwin and msys installed - and I do have some GNU tools installed, too.
But none of that stuff is in my path unless I specifically put it there (via various batch scripts). I suppose, however, that Cygwin could be doing something surreptitiously ... via registry settings or something. Neither my GNU tools nor msys installations interfered with the registry in any way (afaik).

Cheers,
Rob
