I didn't apply the patch, but the concept (opening /dev/tty for read)
works on Linux, Windows 2000/Cygwin, Solaris 8, and AIX 5.1. I don't
have access to a Mac OS X system, or a Windows system that has a
non-Cygwin Perl or Python.
I tested it with the following command line:
echo test | perl -e 'while(<>) { print; } open(S, "</dev/tty") or die
"$!\n"; while(<S>) { print; } close(S);'
All one line, of course. It should print "test" (read from STDIN),
then echo back the lines you type until you enter EOF.
