a quick Google search revealed that $STD_IN->Mode($mode &
~(ENABLE_LINE_INPUT|ENABLE_ECHO_INPUT)) does what you want. 

eg. to remove the ENABLE_LINE_INPUT flag you need to remove
ENABLE_ECHO_INPUT too. 

looks like it is a bug in the Win32 SDK itself (or its documentation, at
least), rather than Win32::Console.

cheers,
Aldo
