C:\> ppm install Curses.ppd
Installing package 'Curses.ppd'...
Error installing package 'Curses.ppd': Read a PPD for 'Curses.ppd',
but it is not intended for this build of Perl
(MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
(I downloaded Curses.ppd from ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/ and the ppm3 also found no matches).
I've posted to the ActiveState mailing list to check on this.

Basically, I try to be impervious to Microsoft too, but it won't make me impervious to loosing marks in my project, so I should try another module. Do you know if any of the Tk/POE modules could help me? (all I need is keyboard input)
TIA,
James.

I'm afraid I've got no idea; I have erected a shield around my soul, which is impervious to MicroSoft software. It's been almost a year since the last serious breach.
ActiveState have a PPM for Curses[*] so it looks like the answer is probably "yes". Though it would pay to test your program actually works in Windows more often than the day before your project is due ;).
I wouldn't trust the PPM for POE from ActiveState, however. It's badly out of date.
