in thread strawberry perl fails when running debug

Interesting - I have that set by default when opening a new Command Prompt. It's a actually set as a System variable (as opposed to user) - although as Admin, I could have put it there as well. I just don't ever remember setting TERM=dumb. Wonder if I needed it for something else (e.g., Gnuplot comes to mind)?

Glad it worked out and thanks for posting solution.

    TERM=dumb is needed also in windows by some Term::ReadLine feature to work correctly, if i reacall, autocomplete.

    Perhaps you are running the portableshell.bat that comes within Strawberry portable distros? infact normally that env var is not present in win7

    The portableshell.bat launcher set this and other env vars before realease the control to the user
