in thread CPAN and readline on windows

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

    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?

      I find that the minimal readline support on Windows is useful enough that having it on doesn't bother me too much.
