If you are aiming to be portable, you should use the common interface Term::ReadLine, which is part of the perl core. Term::ReadLine contains a stub (which itself doesn't implement command line history), and a wrapper for whichever of Term::ReadLine::Perl or Term::ReadLine::Gnu is installed. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?

If you use ActiveState on the Windows box, use ppm, and type "search term", there should be tens f modules, pick one and use it in both the SOs.	[reply]
