Just use Perl Package Mmanager, if you have the ActiveState Perl.  If you 
don't, go get it. ( http://www.activestate.com/ )  Drop to a command line, 
and if your \perl\bin directory is in your path, type PPM and your 
there.  Otherwise, cd there and run it.

After that, type 'help' for a list of command.  However, this should do it 
for your situation.

install TermReadKey

Answer yes, and it's done.  The docs for the module will appear in the 
index of your HTML-ized perldocs.

Usually you can just use nmake to make Perl-only modules, and you can get 
that from Microsoft's website for free.  But if there's any C in there, 
you'll need a compiler.  You can get GCC from Cygnus, along with tons of 
other Unix tools for Windows.  I use them a bit, but I'd be of little help 
setting them up.  Very cool company, though, Cygnus.  Got picked up by 
RedHat, and still doing real quality work in bring open source stuff to 
Win32.

Thank you for your time,
