in reply to Tab-completion ... not perl related though
On debian (derived) systems, the bash completion scripts are bundled in the package bash-completion:
qwurx [shmem] ~ > dpkg -l bash\* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/T +rig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Descripti +on +++-======================-================-================-========= +======================================== ii bash 4.2-5ubuntu3 amd64 GNU Bourn +e Again SHell ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1ubuntu3 all programma +ble completion for the bash shell un bash-doc <none> (no descr +iption available)
Don't know how that is handled on systems with the RPM package manager (RedHat, Fedora, SuSE, CentOS etc.).
You could grab the debian package, make a temporary directory and unpack the package file there with
ar x ~/Downloads/bash-completion_2.0-1_all.deb
You will find a data.tar.gz which contains the files, unpacking that (tar xfz data.tar.gz) you will find the directories etc/ and usr/. Reolcate their content to the system root. The sourcing code for the completion files is in /etc/bash.bashrc as follows:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then . /etc/bash_completion fi
I guess that on non-debian systems the setup is similar.
