Philippe, First off, there is no need to send the message directly to me -- I read the list. Hence the "Reply-To".
Secondly, I used the exact line you quoted in your message (perl -e 'print "\033[H\033[J"'). It worked. The only difference I can see is that you use ActiveState's perl, whereas I use the Cygwin native perl. I'm not even going to ask why (yet). Did you try piping the output of the perl command to "od -c"? What did it show? What is the value of your CYGWIN variable? Are you running this in an xterm, an rxvt, or a command window? Did you attach the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r" as indicated in <http://cygwin.com/bugs.html>? Please provide the above information if you want people to be able to address your problem.
