I've gone ahead and created it: Convert "$Suppress_readline" to a configuration option

-xdg

Okay, thanks. The reason I think that applying the disable in CPAN.BAT is good idea is that (I assume) people using *nix emulators (Cygwin Strawberry etc.) where they would need the ReadLine support, will probably not invoke cpan via a .BAT file?

Depends what comes first in the PATH. {grin} I find that the minimal readline support on Windows is useful enough that having it on doesn't bother me too much. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.

the minimal readline support on Windows ... You mean it does actually do something? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
