in thread colored output

That assumes perl 5.6.2 or higher. A more portable solution might be: 
    # check whether if.pm is available
    eval { use if 1, 'if' } ;

    my $has_if = defined $@ ;
    if ( $has_if ) {
        use if $^0 eq 'MSWin32', 'Win32::Console::ANSI' ;
    } elsif ( $^O eq 'MSWin32' ) {
        eval { use Win32::Console::ANSI } ;
        die "$@, stopped" if $@ ;
    }

    Good catch, thanks.

    In this case, it's probably sufficient to use only BEGIN { eval { require Win32::Console::ANSI; }; }
