PerlBroker has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using Term::Complete in my shell based CRM system. And I get correctly the list for completion which is in Unicode. By pressing TAB I can see the unicode. But by pressing the actual symbol, such as ž I cannot see the Unicode symbol, but I get: ž instead and cannot complete more with the TAB. If anyone else knows better version for complete function, I am also interested.

    I guess it's concerned with readline, not the completion itself. Any chance to check on other Term:: modules like Term::ReadLine::Perl or Term::ReadLine::Gnu?

      It would be nice to get it working somehow. The Completion list works, as it shows correctly the Unicode characters. When I try typing, instead od ž it shows ž and only at the place where is the completion in question: 
      Thetabiz CRM:c
First name: ž
Last name: 
E-mail (1): 
E-mail (2): 
E-mail (3): 
Mobile phone: ž
Office phone: 
Now complete
Account (1): ž <-- here is completion and the list
      Any other clue?

        what shows when you type the character you want on the command line (not in your program input)?
