G'day!

I'm taking a shot at embedding perl and so far it seems fairly easy.  The 
problem I'm running into is that all the tools are command line only 
(auto-processing of glue code and such).

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I have issues with using command-line 
tools, I have issues using them under Windows.  The command prompt in Win2K 
is a big improvement over what existed in Win98, but it's still not even 
close to a nice XTerm-style shell.  Part of that is lack of a decent shell 
(tcsh/bash/whatever) and part is the poor handling of the window.

At this point I'm considering trying to set up a telnet daemon on my Win2k 
machine and telnetting to localhost because CRT (a very nice telnet client 
BTW) gives me a nicer interface to command-line stuff than Window's command 
prompt.

Does anyone know of any decent (free or cheap) XTerm & unix-like shell 
products? KDE For Windows would be nice. :)

Stay Casual,

Ken
