See my post of a few days ago on this topic. There's a fairly simple
patch (which I included) to allow this to work.
Basically it's just using isatty() to test whether we're running on a
TTY before attempting to turn off password echoing (which is irrelevant
when not running in a TTY).
This will also make the hoops AcePerl has to jump through unnecessary.
