Re^5: Any event modules that support STDIN polling for Windows?

However just like most of the other modules that I've tried, it didn't respond to my keypresses.

I think you have a low level software problem, ( maybe the win32 keystroke recorders are grabbing the keyboard, bwahaha :-)) Seriously, if multiple modules are ALL not responding to keyboard events, it may be a defective operating system. Maybe you need a few of the System patches provided by Microsoft?

My colleagues' are facing the same problem too. I wished MS would release a patch to fix this. I also wished that Perl module creators would not deliberately overlook the compatibility of their works in Windows because I know at least one module that really admitted so in its in-code comments. It doesn't necessarily have to be a downloadable module. It could be a hack as long as it works and doesn't consume noticeable CPU and memory.	[reply]
