patch proposal

The perl file test operator -t makes it easy to test whether the file is connected to a TTY.

Well, the test works, but
 system("stty -echo");
does not.  However,
 system("/bin/stty", "-echo");
does work, but is not portable.  I guess if you specify just plain "stty" it has to invoke the shell to do the $PATH lookup, which I guess negates the stty -echo somehow.  Need to investigate this some more.
