Re: [Expectperl-discuss] IO-Tty vs. BSD

The problem is multi-layered:  0.92_04 is a BETA version, 
the latest stable version is 0.05.  Unfortunately, search.cpan.org
only shows the latest version, regardless of it's status (the
"_" in the version number makes it beta; this is a CPAN
standard).  If you use the (latest) CPAN module, you should
get v0.05, unless there is still a mix-up in the CPAN database
(as it was a few months ago).

I have already contacted the search.cpan.org maintainers to get
that "feature" sorted out.

I'm still working on the innards of IO::Tty to finally get a clean
and cross-platform design, but that's not easy, as there are
about a dozen different ways how ptys are created on various systems,
so this will take a while.

Hope this helps,

Roland
