They run ok for me in the powershell - in so far as they start up fine and I 
can run simple scripts on them. (Or do people want to be able to run cmdlets 
in the pdl2 shell ?)

One thing I did notice is that the history (up/down arrow) keys don't work 
in the perldl shell that's run in powershell, though those keys work when 
the perldl shell is run in the cmd.exe shell.
When I switched to using pdl2, the history keys then became functional.

Anyway .... I think your main aim at this point was to gauge the level of 
interest in your proposed project, and although I'm not prepared to commit 
to the project, I do find it a bit interesting and would like to stay up to 
date with developments.

Are there more detailed reports (that I can access) of the actual problems 
being experienced ?

Cheers,
Rob
