Jeez ... I h-h-h-hate that antique Perl4 stuff!!!

this works for me after installing Term::ReadLine::Perl 

perl -e'
BEGIN { $ENV{PERL_RL}="Perl" }
$\="\n";
use Term::ReadLine;
$term=Term::ReadLine->new("test");
print $term->ReadLine;
'

Term::ReadLine::Perl

[download]

But an exists on rl_basic_commands is very unreliable...

... which is not surprising after I noticed that Term::ReadLine::Perl has some AUTOLOAD and tie magic.

I didn't try to dig deeper into it, you might wanna try out Term::ReadLine::Perl5 or Term::ReadLine::Zoid (no guaranty)
