in reply to Simulating input history without Term::Readline::Gnu

You don't need root access to install modules. Yes, even you can use CPAN, and I've had good luck with the oddly-named Term::ReadLine::Zoid, as well.

    Thanks! I'll look into this. It's mostly that I don't have write access to those library folders and I was hoping to just get around it. Besides, in a testing environment on many systems, it's much easier to have my scripts portable and transferable onto the existing framework than to have to install CPAN modules every time I need to run a script...
