Well, like I said at the start of this thread -- Windows NT/XP/2K/2K3
doesn't support interpreting of ansi escape sequences sent to stdout.
There are Windows API calls to do this, but they must be explicitly
called.

While someone else pointed out that there may be a Perl module that
can be loaded which will cause Perl to internally interpret the ansi
codes and call the appropriate API, for whatever reason it's not
working for you.

So, you either have to abandon using anything but plain text, or you
will have to code in a language that will allow to to call (either
implicitly or explicitly) the appropriate API functions.
