CoadToad has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was messing around with the Win32::Console module and keep getting this error no matter what I try.

Error Message: Can't call method "Attr" on an undefined value at C:\test.pl line 2.

Code
use Win32::Console;
$attr = $CONSOLE->Attr();
$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_YELLOW | $BG_BLUE);

I am taking this code directly from the CPAN site. And the module is installed.
I am using Activeperl.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Seems to me that you need to create a Win32::Console object first:

    use Win32::Console;
my $console = new Win32::Console || die "Couldn't create object: $!\n"
+;
my $attr = $console->Attr();
# ... do s'more stuff...

      Thanks. I knew it had to be something simple. I feel kinda stupid going back and looking at it now.

      Thanks again!
