perl-io-tty

'IO::Tty' is used internally by 'IO::Pty' to create a pseudo-tty. You wouldn't want to use it directly except to import constants, use 'IO::Pty'. For a list of importable constants, see IO::Tty::Constant. Windows is now supported, but ONLY under the Cygwin environment, see http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/. Please note that pty creation is very system-dependend. From my experience, any modern POSIX system should be fine. Find below a list of systems that 'IO::Tty' should work on. A more detailed table (which is slowly getting out-of-date) is available from the project pages document manager at SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/expectperl/. If you have problems on your system and your system is listed in the "verified" list, you probably have some non-standard setup, e.g. you compiled your Linux-kernel yourself and disabled ptys (bummer!). Please ask your friendly sysadmin for help. If your system is not listed, unpack the latest version of 'IO::Tty', do a ''perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; uname -a'' and send me (_RGiersig@cpan.org_) the results and I'll see what I can deduce from that. There are chances that it will work right out-of-the-box... If it's working on your system, please send me a short note with details (version number, distribution, etc. 'uname -a' and 'perl -V' is a good start; also, the output from "perl Makefile.PL" contains a lot of interesting info, so please include that as well) so I can get an overview. Thanks!
