Greetings,
I'm now fed up with the apparent inability to use such excitements as readline in the perl debugger in eterms or xterms on a potato install. I'm ashamed to admit it works fine on an old RH5.2 installation. The symptom: In Xterm or Eterm, using the perl debugger, keys such as Tab are interpreted literally, the backspace as ^H, etc. I have to use Ctrl-H for backspace, et al. I would blame stty, but basic readline in bash works fine. I would blame perl readline, but it's fine in RH5.2 . I would blame perl debug, but similar things occur in xemacs -nw, and vi. I did try the archives, but nothing obvious. Please could somebody tell me how they got perl readline working in an xterm or similar? It's driving me scatty. Mx.
