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

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::Console::ANSI;

I received the following errors:
--------------------------------

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
