Message: [QUOTE="Richard S Beckett, post: 4750678"] I want to set my dos window up with 80 cols and 100 lines, but when I do I break my END block. Here's an example... use strict; use warnings; $| =1; # use Win32::Console; # my $BUFFER = new Win32::Console(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); # $BUFFER->Size(80,100); for (1..5) {print "."; sleep 1} exit; END {print "\n\nPress Enter\n"; <STDIN>;} In the above form it works. BUT remove the comments from the first 2 or 3 (commented) lines, and the PRINT statement in the END block stops working. The <STDIN> still works, though. What am I doing wrong _this_ time? ;-) W2K, active perl V5.8.1 build 807. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
