Hello guys!

I'v just moved from perl 5.6.0 on Linux RH7.1 to perl 5.8.0 on Linux RH9.0 and have some problems porting my project.
My current problem is related to the Term::ReadLine module that screams funny message to console:

# after executing:
our $term = new Term::ReadLine 'Command Line Interface';
Warning [/etc/inputrc line 11]:
   Invalid variable 'mark-symlink-directories'
# it shouts:
Undifiened value assigned to typeglob at (eval 22) line 15, <RC> line 
+11.

Therefore any use of $term breaks the program, for example:

# when doing:
$term->stifleHistory(100);

# I get:
Cannot do 'stifleHistory' in Term::ReadLine::Perl at /usr/lib/perl5/si
+te_perl/5.8.0/Term/ReadLine/Perl.pm line 111.

Let me remind that everything worked fine before switching to the new environment.
Anyone to the rescue?
