Actually that looks a lot like the GetKey problem I recently posted a
patch for on the dev list - basically, lots of things can make
Term::ReadKey fail (on unix, ssh without a tty is one of them - you
seem to be on windows so I don't know what the story is there) and you
just want to catch the exception.  If you look at that code, just
taking *out* the GetConsoleMode call is probably a short term
workaround, at least to see if that's the problem...
