NAME

Term::ReadLine::EditLine - Term::ReadLine style wrapper for Term::EditLine

SYNOPSIS

use Term::ReadLine;

my $t = Term::ReadLine->new('program name');
while (defined($_ = $t->readline('prompt> '))) {
    ...
    $t->addhistory($_) if /\S/;
}

DESCRIPTION

Term::ReadLine::EditLine provides Term::ReadLine interface using Term::EditLine.

MOTIVATION

Term::ReadLine::Gnu is great, but it's hard to install on Mac OS X. Because it has pre-installed libedit but it does not contain GNU readline.

Term::ReadLine::EditLine is very easy to install on OSX.

INTERFACE

You can use following methods in Term::ReadLine interface.

Term::ReadLine->new($program_name[, IN, OUT])

$t->addhistory($history)

my $line = $t->readline()

$t->ReadLine()

$t->IN()

$t->OUT()

$t->findConsole()

$t->Attribs()

$t->Features()

Additionally, you can use $t->editline() method to access Term::EditLine instance.

ENVIRONMENT

The Term::ReadLine interface module uses the PERL_RL variable to decide which module to load; so if you want to use this module for all your perl applications, try something like:

export PERL_RL=EditLine
