=head1 NAME
-Term::ReadLine - Perl interface to various C<readline> packages. If
-no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions.
+Term::ReadLine - Perl interface to various C<readline> packages.
+If no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Term::ReadLine;
- $term = new Term::ReadLine 'Simple Perl calc';
- $prompt = "Enter your arithmetic expression: ";
- $OUT = $term->OUT || STDOUT;
+ my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'Simple Perl calc';
+ my $prompt = "Enter your arithmetic expression: ";
+ my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT;
while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
- $res = eval($_), "\n";
+ my $res = eval($_);
warn $@ if $@;
print $OUT $res, "\n" unless $@;
$term->addhistory($_) if /\S/;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This package is just a front end to some other packages. At the moment
-this description is written, the only such package is Term-ReadLine,
-available on CPAN near you. The real target of this stub package is to
-set up a common interface to whatever Readline emerges with time.
+This package is just a front end to some other packages. It's a stub to
+set up a common interface to the various ReadLine implementations found on
+CPAN (under the C<Term::ReadLine::*> namespace).
=head1 Minimal set of supported functions
$term->addhistory('row');
-where $term is a return value of Term::ReadLine-E<gt>Init.
+where $term is a return value of Term::ReadLine-E<gt>new().
=over 12
returns the actual package that executes the commands. Among possible
values are C<Term::ReadLine::Gnu>, C<Term::ReadLine::Perl>,
-C<Term::ReadLine::Stub Exporter>.
+C<Term::ReadLine::Stub>.
=item C<new>
adds the line to the history of input, from where it can be used if
the actual C<readline> is present.
-=item C<IN>, $C<OUT>
+=item C<IN>, C<OUT>
return the filehandles for input and output or C<undef> if C<readline>
input and output cannot be used for Perl.
=head1 Additional supported functions
Actually C<Term::ReadLine> can use some other package, that will
-support reacher set of commands.
+support a richer set of commands.
All these commands are callable via method interface and have names
which conform to standard conventions with the leading C<rl_> stripped.
(Note that processing of C<PERL_RL> for ornaments is in the discretion of the
particular used C<Term::ReadLine::*> package).
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+It seems that using Term::ReadLine from Emacs minibuffer doesn't work
+quite right and one will get an error message like
+
+ Cannot open /dev/tty for read at ...
+
+One possible workaround for this is to explicitly open /dev/tty like this
+
+ open (FH, "/dev/tty" )
+ or eval 'sub Term::ReadLine::findConsole { ("&STDIN", "&STDERR") }';
+ die $@ if $@;
+ close (FH);
+
+or you can try using the 4-argument form of Term::ReadLine->new().
