Thank you all ... at some point I need to find a xp solution so it will work on non-*nix, but that is not a concern right now.

    that's easy enough, fortunately. just change the open line from Abigail's code to read: 
    if($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
    open(STDIN, "CON") or die $!;
} else {
    open(STDIN, "/dev/tty") or die $!;
}
