The version that ships with Perl +is only a stub, and offers little functionality. + +This module supplements Term::ReadLine so that it uses GNU readline, +which comes with FreeBSD. Applications that use Term::ReadLine do +not need to be modified to gain the benefits of this package; it will +happen transparently upon installation. |
