Nope - that's not it. Turns out that on my Win32 boxes the "TERM" environment variable is set to "dumb", and that's what enables the arrow keys to work for me in the perldl shell: #################################### C:\d>set TERM TERM=dumb #################################### I *think* that setting is the default for windows, and it probably gets changed when vi or emacs is installed, but at this stage I'm not sure about that.
