Interactive perl on windows

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

I need to create an application that runs on Windows 7 that is a CLI for Perl. psh is the perfect example, however, it does not support Windows 7. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Should I be using ptksh, and making a very simple perl/tk GUI to support it, or is there a better way?

psh is the perfect example, however, it does not support Windows 7 As psh is written in Perl, I don't see any fundamental show stopper for Windows. What exactly is the problem? Or are you rather looking for a terminal emulator in order to replace the default console (normally running `cmd.exe`)?	[reply] [d/l]

The psh package does not work when installed through activestate, cpan, or compiled manually. Therefor we started looking toward other solutions.	[reply]

The psh package does not work Please explain does not work for us who do not sit right beside you. What do you expect, what happens instead? Post any error messages you see.
