Can you give it a try? If it works for you, then the problem is something on

then it's probably a more general problem.  I run:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Term::ReadKey

I have cygwin installed in H:\. There is a tmp directory in H:\..  There is no
special mount for /tmp.
$TMP points to C:\TEMP, which also exists.
