in thread CPAN shell command formatting

Well, I may have found the answer. Obviously reading the documentation :-)

As pointed out by Rolf above (Re^3: CPAN shell command formatting), Term::ReadLine::Gnu and Term::ReadLine::Perl are possibly not entirely compatible. After exporting the variable:
export "PERL_RL=Perl o=1"

Where "o=1" stands for ornaments are activated, which was also the setting in o conf. Things look as I desired now.

Thank you everyone for the kind help!

Re^4 Perl debugger command formatting

    I somehow remember having the same discussion about problematic highlighting and the Perl debugger, and it was also the Term::ReadLine backend to be blamed.

    Unfortunately I can't find it again, so I replied to you to make it searchable for others having the same problem, but with the debugger. :)
