I can run native console apps from a console in a cygwin shell fine,
however, for some reason they don't work correctly from a #!/bin/sh script.
E.g., for activestate perl:
TERM=dumb /c/Perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell
run from zsh prompt works correctly with readline support.
Now if I put that in a script:
#!/bin/sh
TERM=dumb /c/Perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell
then when I run the script the readline support is disabled for some reason.
What are differences in environment in a script as opposed to the
regular prompt that would cause this? And is there a workaround?
Does it have something to do with STDIN redirection away from the console?
Have you tried using Cygwin's Perl instead of ActiveState?
