in thread pre-texted <STDIN>

Thank you for the greeting. This looks, so-far as I have read your script, what I was shooting for.

I went to read the "Term::Readline" documentation, and I would not have guessed it was able to do as you have presented, reading that document. That is what I had mentioned in an earlier statment. If I were to just search for this, I could take days of looking at hints that it could do what I wanted, based on the name, but come away, after reading it, not knowing it was the proper package/function.

    indeed! there is CPAN search but.. for all the remaining part there is perlmonks! ;)

    Nothing like the experience from other users (not speaking about me), infact the perl community is one its best plus.

    You can also find IO::Prompt an interesting solution (dunno atm if it can prefill input but you can adapt my example to it)
