Re: Term::Shell readline

Version 0.02 of Term::Shell is from 2007. So yeah, upgrading it might be a start.

If the script dies from the commandline and works from the debugger, then probably the debugger brings a library into the mix which makes the script work because it is there before you create your object. Your example code uses SH::Shell, a module unknown to me (and to CPAN), so I can't help much further.

A shot in the dark: Do you have Term::ReadLine::Gnu installed? Or any other Term::Readline backends?

Thank you very much, haj! I have requested a module version upgrade! That's a good point which I should have mentioned. SH::Shell is just a company-specific perl module which inherits from Term::Shell. I am not sure whether I have those installed. Is there an easy way to check ? `package SH:Shell; use base qw(Term::Shell); sub init { ## good stuff of course }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

When I list the subroutines in the debugger, it seems it's listed, so maybe I just need to force load this in the init subroutine?

For a quick check, try: `perl -MTerm::ReadLine sh.pl` This will pull in `Term::ReadLine` and probably also `Term::ReadLine::Gnu` before your company init stuff. Note that you can not load `Term::ReadLine::Gnu` directly!	[reply] [d/l]
