IO::Tty and IO::Pty provide an interface to pseudo tty's
To build this distribution, run
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
This (v1.04) is a small bugfix-release. Added handling for z/OS
which uses BSD-style PTYs of the format /dev/ptyp0000.
Please note that pty creation is very system-dependend, and there
are a *lot* of different systems out there. If you have problems
on your system, please send me (<
[email protected]>) the output
of a manual installation ('perl Makefile.PL; make; make test;')
and I'll see what I can deduce from it.
Supported systems include Linux, Solaris, AIX, OSF, *BSD, IRIX, HP-UX
and finally Windows (only under the Cygwin environment, see
http://www.cygwin.com/). See the IO::Tty manpage for a
detailed list.
Sorry, ActiveState Perl on Windows is not supported, basically
because there are no pseudo-terminals under Windows.
If it's working on your system, please send me a short note with
details (version number, distribution, etc. 'uname -a' is a good
start) so I can get an overview. Thanks!
See the ChangeLog and the docs for details.
Oh, and many thanks to all testers, without their support this project
would still be limited to a few systems that I have access to. Thanks
also to SourceForge (
http://sf.net) who is hosting this and many other
projects, their services have made development and support a real
pleasure. If you intend to donate something to the Open Source cause,
think about lending them a machine for their compile farm!
