equivalent of /dev/tty in Windows ? Peter Billam 10-06-2006

I have this module Term::Clui to which I've just added some
"use Term::ReadKey"; so the "stty -echo raw" stuff is probably now
(at last) portable to windows. The next roadblock would be the
"open(TTY, '>/dev/tty')" bit. What's the windows-portable equivalent ?

Regards, Peter

(apologies in advance: I ask as someone who hasn't used windows since
3.1, and even then not much :-))

Perhaps this,

open (TTY, '>', 'CON:') or die "$!";
