ok Bill,
I am talk about the function read_password which is part of the Term module.
It apparently works in all other platforms ( unix, etc...) but is know not to
work on Win32 ( and i confirm that!)
I am working on a command line script, and need to input a password from the
console, and obviously
i would avoid to show it explicitly.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Guess what Eric, I have no idea what you're talking about.
What's read_password ? Part of some of your code, maybe a function
in a Perl module, some C code maybe ? Please be a little more explcit
since there are ways to accept input without echoing, we just need to
know what you're talking about - web page, commandline, GUI window ?
