Re^6: They've fscked with CPAN.pm again

Does AS1004 mean Activestate?

Hm. The CPAN testers don't know. Says it all.

Have you loaded ANSI.SYS?

There is no such thing on my system. And it hasn't been necessary for 10 years or more.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Just because I'm a CPAN tester and I don't know doesn't say a damned thing about any other testers. Have you loaded ANSI.SYS? There is no such thing on my system. And it hasn't been necessary for 10 years or more. Ah well, it was worth trying. Last time I did any non-trivial work on DOS/Windows, that was the correct question to ask when the shell display was screwed up like that.	[reply]

Use of the command.com shell would now be very rare. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
