Re^4: Term ReadLine in OS X

I installed Term::ReadLine::Perl and then ran my program, which gave me the new error. After that, I installed MacPorts.

Here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Term::ReadLine;
use strict;

my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('readLine');
my $prompt = "> ";
my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT;

print "Enter: \n";
my $result = $term->readline($prompt);
[download]

Could I install Perlbrew alongside MacPorts and go that route?
Thanks,
Mike

I feel a little reticent about giving further advice as you seem to be doing pretty much the opposite of what I'm saying. Regarding installing `Term::ReadLine::Perl`, I suggested trying this "In the absence of other solutions": you chose to do this first. Regarding Perlbrew/MacPorts/ActiveState, I said "You may want to consider these options before adding or updating modules used by your system Perl.": you chose to add/update `Term::ReadLine::Perl` on your system Perl. However, it's your computer and you should be free to break it in whatever interesting ways you see fit. I have a number of Perls installed - so you can "go that route": System Perl `$ /usr/bin/perl -v This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for darwin-th +read-multi-2level (with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) ...` [download] Perlbrew Perl `$ /usr/bin/env perl -v This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for darwin-th +read-multi-2level ...` [download] MacPorts Perl `$ /opt/local/bin/perl -v This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for darwin-mu +lti-2level ...` [download] I tried your code above (presumably `/Users/mike/readline.pl`) with each of these three Perls. I was unable to reproduce your problem. I received no error or warning messages. I entered the same text for all of them: `$ pm_readline_perl_mac.pl Enter: > 1+2 $ pm_readline_perl_mac.pl Enter: > blah blah $` [download] And finally, just for completeness, I haven't set `PERL_RL`: `$ echo $PERL_RL $` [download] -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

For some reason it seems to be working now, I rebooted the computer and when I ran the code it works without a problem. I wish I could explain what I did, but it just started working randomly. I would like to thank you very much for your help.	[reply]
