This is off topic I know. I'll let y'all decide whether it's too far off and should be reaped, but it's very perl related for me.

I am having to use a unix system via a secure shell to do some perl stuff, but I find the bash command line editing "features" as frustrating as hell.

So, does anyone have an .inputrc file that maps the pc keyboard to "sensible" mappings that they could let me have?
