Re^21: CPAN and readline on windows

I also have Term::ReadKey v2.30

I can find no evidence that Term::ReadKey comes into play for me - and perhaps that's the secret to my success. If I stick a print in both the 'if' and 'else' branches of that sub ReadKey (and I made sure I selected the same rendition of that sub), then I don't get to see *either* of them when firing up the cpan and perldl shells. And I know that nothing changes if I remove Term::ReadKey - both the perldl and cpan shells still work exactly as before.

Are you a vi or emacs user?

Notepad ... real sophisticated :-)

Cheers,
Rob

Hm. A nice theory bites the dust ;( Is `$ENV{EDITOR}` being set by cygwin or similar? Even if you don't make use of it. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply] [d/l]

A nice theory bites the dust Don't be too quick to write it off - let's just say that the jury is still out (and probably will be for quite some time). One day something will crop up that will lead to that "aaaaah" moment. I can't see anything in my environment variables that could be causing different behaviour.

`TERM=dumb` [download] is what makes it work.	[reply] [d/l]
