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

hi
i have installed the piet-interpreter using
ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/Piet-Interpreter.ppd
it have installed automatically image-magick which is required
the piet interpreter needs the POSIX , which in installed by activestate perl 5.8.8 by default. when i have run the smallest example such as
use Piet::Interpreter; my $p = Piet::Interpreter->new(image => 'add.gif'); $p->run;
it gives me the error:
POSIX::termios not implemented on this architecture at c:/perl/site/lib/Piet/Interpreter.pm line 1062. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:/perl/site/lib/Piet/Interpreter.pm line 1076.
what is this POSIX::termios, are there someone who have installed piet successfully
http://search.cpan.org/~majcher/Piet-Interpreter-0.03/Interpreter.pm
i am using winxp, activestate perl 5.8.8
thanks

    Look at the platform matrix for Piet::Interpreter at here. You will see it has only been tested on Cygwin and FreeBSD. Cygwin will have to be used if your only option is MS Windows.
