You wouldn't want to use it directly except to import constants, use \&\f(CW\*(C`IO::Pty\*(C'\fR. For a list of importable constants, see IO::Tty::Constant. .PP Windows is now supported, but \s-1ONLY\s0 under the Cygwin environment, see <http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/>. .PP Please note that pty creation is very system-dependend. From my experience, any modern \s-1POSIX\s0 system should be fine. Find below a list of systems that \f(CW\*(C`IO::Tty\*(C'\fR should work on. A more detailed table (which is slowly getting out-of-date) is available from the project pages document manager at SourceForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/expectperl/>. .PP If you have problems on your system and your system is listed in the \&\*(L"verified\*(R" list, you probably have some non-standard setup, e.g. you compiled your Linux-kernel yourself and disabled ptys (bummer!). Please ask your friendly sysadmin for help. .PP If your system is not listed, unpack the latest version of \f(CW\*(C`IO::Tty\*(C'\fR, do a \f(CW\*(Aqperl Makefile.PL; make; make test; uname \-a\*(Aq\fR and send me (\fIRGiersig@cpan.org\fR) the results and I'll see what I can deduce from that. There are chances that it will work right out-of-the-box... .PP If it's working on your system, please send me a short note with details (version number, distribution, etc. 'uname \-a' and 'perl \-V' is a good start; also, the output from \*(L"perl Makefile.PL\*(R" contains a lot of interesting info, so please include that as well) so I can get an overview.
