I think the Morgan Stanley people (...) may be interested in (...) a viable replacement for the existing module.

SCNR to the temptation of giving an example of how easy it is to twist a whole statement with the use of some ellipsis... ;-)

It might be a viable replacement, and if refined, it is; and "relatively inexpensive way" is an understatement, because all there is to it already can be found in the GNU readline library.

Dunno how that has been in the beginning of POE::Wheel::ReadLine. As for now, calling the GNU RL lib via Term::ReadLine::Gnu in POE context is straightforward, since it supports the callback execution model.

The functions needed in POE context, for most of its functionality, are:

all of which (and oodles of more functions) are nicely explained in the GNU readline info pages.

I could step in and release a POE::Wheel::ReadLine::Gnu module compatible to POE::Wheel::ReadLine, and I would do so if you as "grandfather POE" would favor that; but I'd rather have the original authors of P:W:RL ("the Morgan Stanley people" ?) do the revision, for they have more insight into POE. Besides, I don't want to take over things without need, nor spoil effort.

That said - if nobody answers on the mailing list, I'll just do my best in coding and post it here or send it to you for inclusion.
