( 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. http://cygnus.redhat.com/ Thank you for your time, Sean.
