Hi All:
Ok, I need to use either Win32::Console or Term::ANSIScreen depending
whether I'm on a Linux platform or Windoze box, so I do this:
if($^O eq "MSWin32"){
# Check which OS
print("Looks like its $^O\n");
require Win32::Console;
} else {
require Term::ANSIScreen;
}
Works fine, however, later on the code I need to create a console object
like this:
if($^O eq "MSWin32"){
# Check which OS
$console = Win32::Console->new(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
} else {
$console = Term::ANSIScreen->new();
}
And that is the fly in the ointment. I get an error about
STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE as it's a constant in the Win32::Console module but
its not loaded yet on Windows and never loads on Linux, so the error
makes the script abort.
D:\linux>perl init25g.pl 192.168.1.27 4002 client 10 13
Bareword "STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at
init25g.pl line 73.
Execution of init25g.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
How do I get around this?
Cheers,
john
