Win32::Console::ANSI Not Working in Windows Vista

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

The following code works as expected in Windows XP, displaying colors in CMD window, but I get the error messages below when running in Windows Vista. I am running ActiveState 5.10 and I used ppm to install module Win32::Console::ANSI. I also ran "cpan Win32::Console::ANSI" and it confirmed that the module is up to date. Is there something special that Vista requires for this module to work?

TIA
