The version that ships with Perl +is only a stub, and offers little functionality. + +This module supplants the Term::ReadLine stubs with real command line +editing and recall facilities, written entirely in Perl. Applications +that use Term::ReadLine do not need to be modified to gain the benefits +of this package; it will happen transparently upon installation. |
