in reply to Can't use up/down arrow for history in cpan shell

Welcome to the Monastery, TSN!

I found the following in an answer over on a StackOverflow question. I *have* tested it.

"By default the only Term::ReadLine handler you get is Term::ReadLine::Perl which is quite simple and doesn't understand things like arrow keys. You probably want to install Term::ReadLine::Gnu."

update: I can now confirm the default doesn't work, but after installing the Gnu module, it works dandy. /update
