in thread problem when installing IO-Tty-1.07 in windows

From the IO-Tty README file:

Windows is supported only under the Cygwin environment, see
http://www.cygwin.com/.

Sorry, ActiveState Perl on Windows is NOT supported, basically 
because there are no pseudo-terminals under Windows.

    Sorry for the ignorance, but I thought this was the entire point of Strawberry Perl. No? What, if anything, can you use for Strawberry Perl to install the Bundle::Expect? (Besides going to cygwin)
[reply]

      What Strawberry Perl does is facilitate the installation of CPAN modules including the building of C extensions since Windows doesn't natively provide the tools to do so. It's not a unix emulator, so modules that require a unix system won't magically start working.

      hi does this mean, if I need to install IO:Tty module then I have to use cygwin perl instead of strawberry perl. I am starting a perl project and I am thinking if I should just use cygwin perl instead of strawberry perl and not mix using both. Appreciate any feedback.

        Windows is supported only under the Cygwin environment, see http://www.cygwin.com/. means Expect/IO-Tty need cygwin

      I fully agree! What's the point of strawberry perl if it can't handle the install of IO::Tty
