Re^2: Win32::Console::ANSI Not Working in Windows Vista

It seems plausible that this heavy-handed method run afoul of improved security mechanisms in Vista.

Yes, that seems plausible. However, I've just built the module (version 1.01) from source on Vista SP1 without any problems. All of the tests ran fine. I used build 1004 of ActivePerl and dmake/MinGW.

The fact that I'm using SP1 might be significant (unless the op has also installed SP1).

Cheers,
Rob

Yes, I'm also using SP1. I may have to build the module from source as you have done if the alternate repository suggested by Anon does not work out. Thanks, Roy "Its not how hard you work, its how much you get done."	[reply]

I've just built the module (version 1.01) from source on Vista SP1 without any problems Well ... I thought the terminal I was using was connected to a Vista SP1 box, but it was in fact connected to an XP box. It turns out I can't build Win32-Console-Ansi-1.01 on Vista SP1. I get the same error as reported by the op. I'll notify both roho and jand (via /msg) of my embarrassing mistake, and then submit a bug report about this to rt.cpan (unless the bug has already been reported). Cheers, Rob	[reply]
