hello monks

I'm using Term::TeadLine in my shell program for some purposes. One of them is the tab completion. my shell have menus so for example:
# if I write
main > one two

# I should get new prompt
main\one\two >

[download]
I manage to do so by:
my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'Command Line Interface';
my $attribs = $term->Attribs;
$attribs->{attempted_completion_function} = \&tabCompletionFunction;

sub tabCompletionFunction {

  my ($text, $line, $start, $end) = @_;

  my @tmp = split(/\s+/, $line);
  unshift(@tmp, @prompt);   # the completion should be relative to cur
+rent prompt

  $attribs->{completion_word} = &getTabCompletionArray(\@tmp);
  return $term->completion_matches($text, $attribs->{list_completion_f
+unction});
}

[download]
each time the tab button will be pressed, the completion will be made relatively to the current prompt and the info in the input buffer in $line.

This works perfectly except the case when I enter in the command line a char that no word in the completion array starts with, for example when the array is:
$completionsArray = qw(one two three four);   # found by &getTabComple
+tionArray

[download]
and the input is:
current prompt > xdd

[download]
what I should expect is that no completion should be preformed, but what actually happens is that if in the current directory (where my shell program runs from) theres a file/directory that starts with xdd, the completion will be made. I guess it uses the defaultfile_completion_function, but I specified list_completion_function intentionaly so this won't happen, Anyone knows why this happens and how can I fix that not to show anything if no matches in the completion array?
