When I run peg, I get the messagec
peg: failed to load Win32::Console::ANSI
which is strange because I can't find any reference to thie module in the peg source. Aside from this message, the program seems to work fine. Any idea where this message comes from?
This module is needed on Win32 to color the output. It is required at line 500 (not sure how you missed it!). NB. you do not call into it... it works by a form of side affect. Check it's docs (see below). If you're not on Win32, then something has gone screwy with the $Is_Win32 varable.
Firstly i would highly reccomend installing this as once you've seen how easy and useful writing coloured output is, you'll likely find uses for it your existing scripts.
Failing that, add $ENV{PEG_NO_WIN32_CONSOLE_ANSI} = 1 to your peg_ini.pl file and this will stop you seeing the error message. (Yes - it's a hack :-)
From the modules POD:
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Windows NT/2000/XP does not support ANSI escape sequences in Win32 Con
+sole
applications. This module emulates an ANSI console for the script that
+ uses
it and also converts the characters from Windows code page to DOS code
+ page
(the so-called ANSI to OEM conversion). This conversion permits the di
+splay
of the accented characters in the console like in the Windows- based e
+ditor
used to type the script.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
