maybe have a look at "ornaments" and "color support" and anything related to "term" in https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN#Config-Variables
see also https://perldoc.perl.org/Term::ReadLine#ENVIRONMENT
you might als want to check which Term::ReadLine backend is installed, either Term::ReadLine::Perl or Term::ReadLine::Gnu, they are not fully feature compatible IIRC.
