The AS module list for 5.6 is here: http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/ You can use ppm to automate the installation (ppm install TermReadKey) without downloading it... or download and read the README for a local install. > it says that there is not target file Don't use "make" on Windows with AS-Perl, use "nmake" instead (the reason for the error). You can search Google for it, or maybe someone here has it bookmarked. It is available from MS's site, and also comes with their C++ (I think).
