I'm having trouble getting this sample POE code to work under Win32 (XP) with Activestate Perl 5.8.0. I have installed the POE, TermReadKey, and Term-Cap modules. Here is the error I get:

  >perl poetest.pl
Your vendor has not defined POSIX macro B38400, used at D:/Perl/site/l
+ib/POE/Whe
el/ReadLine.pm line 89
Compilation failed in require at (eval 31) line 1.

could not import qw(Wheel::ReadLine) at poetest.pl line 5
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at poetest.pl line 5.

Seems like I may need to install Cygwin. But I'm curious as to what this macro at line 89 is, and if there is a workaround for Win32 - here is the relevant code from the ReadLine.pm module:

Line 12: use POSIX qw(B38400);
Line 88: # Get the terminal speed for Term::Cap.
         my $ospeed = B38400;

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
