it's not just cygwin. On my debian stretch/sid at home I get the following:

gargle@msi:~$ perl -e 'use Term::Prompt qw/prompt/; use Modern::Perl; 
+{ my $p = (1==1) ? 0 : prompt( "y", "", "", "") } { local $\="\n"; pr
+int "the quick brown fox" } { local $\="\n"; print "jumps over the la
+zy dog." };'
the quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog.

 (y or n) [default n]

Do other people see the same kind of behaviour?

Debian runs perl v5.24.1, Term::Prompt 1.04, Modern::Perl 1.20150127

if ( 1 ) { $postman->ring() for (1..2); }

In reply to Re: Modern::Perl and cygwin by gargle
in thread Term::Prompt breaks say in Modern::Perl because of Term::Readkey (edited, was "Modern::Perl and cygwin") by gargle
