"aaaaah"! :-))))) I wonder what created that setting. Cygwin would be my guess, as its (bash) shell also reports `TERM=dumb` ... except that my XP laptop has never had Cygwin installed on it. The msys (bash) shell reports `TERM=msys`. Or maybe 'dumb' is the default - and you guys have done something to change it ? Anyway - another mystery solved. Nice work ikegami, BrowserUk.

The post to which you link assumes that Perl is only executed from the command prompt. In practice, it's also launched from file managers (via file associations) and from IDEs.	[reply]
