I have been away from perl for about 10 yrs. Last time i used it
was on windows xp. I probably am a low intermedeate perl user. I
installed activeperl about 4 months ago and immediately saw a
difference. Since then I have tried this with both activeperl and
strawberry perl on windows xp, windows 7 and new windows 10
machines with the same results. The only thing I found on the monks
gave the cure as deleting the perl dir manually and then re-
installing. I have done this several times, on diff machines
and diff o/s's and,as I said even a brand new win 10 machine.
when I invoke perl in debugger mode, perl exucutes the first
line of the program, then outputs the following:
unable to get terminals size. the win32 getconsolescreeenbuffersize
call did not work....(more related info).
the program then continues to work properly, except obviouslly,
for I/O call's to the console.
I've tried this with several old, as well as new programs
with and without the 'use win32' call. I give up.. Can someone
please help? Thanks
