I wonder if this is some sort of temporary anomaly on ActiveState's
part. I *know* that I have installed this module on Windows by using
an ActiveState ppd -- but that was a couple of years back. The module
is documented on ActiveState's site at:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Co...ey/ReadKey.html

.... and it's listed as building properly into a ppm at:
http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-T.html

Perhaps someone could raise this on the
perl-win32-users@activestate.com mailing list.
