note NetWallah I'm having trouble getting this sample POE code to work under Win32 (XP) with Activestate Perl 5.8.0. I have installed the POE, TermReadKey, and Term-Cap modules. Here is the error I get: <code> >perl poetest.pl Your vendor has not defined POSIX macro B38400, used at D:/Perl/site/lib/POE/Whe el/ReadLine.pm line 89 Compilation failed in require at (eval 31) line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 31) line 1. could not import qw(Wheel::ReadLine) at poetest.pl line 5 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at poetest.pl line 5. E:\Documents and Settings\vijay\test>perl -v </code> Seems like I may need to install Cygwin. But I'm curious as to what this macro at line 89 is, and if there is a workaround for Win32 - here is the relevant code from the ReadLine.pm module: <code> Line 12: use POSIX qw(B38400); Line 88: # Get the terminal speed for Term::Cap. my $ospeed = B38400; </code> 282468 282468
