in thread Unicode input for Win32::Console

From what I can tell, Win32::Console has never been updated since the advent of the Perl Unicode era, hence it simply isn;t configured to compile such that it will work correctly with Unicode input.

It seems it should be possible to make the module work, but it looks like there would be a bunch of effort required in tracking down the correct set of incantations for the MS compiler to allow it to do so. Whether that would then be portable to MingW is another question entirely.
