Hi everyone, I have been searching for the answer to the subject line's question for the last two hours.
None of the answers I've found work. (I.e. the `perl -de 1` REPL remains without readline support.) I have already `apt-get install`-ed libreadline-dev libterm-readline-gnu-perl libterm-readline-perl-perl (...along with their dependencies, of course). I also ran `apt-get install --reinstall perl`, and `dpkg-reconfigure`'d everything in sight. All of this got me nothing. I'm puzzled by how difficult this problem has turned out to be. Usually, `apt-cache search ...` followed by `apt-get install` takes care of stuff like this. In the harder cases, the first hit from a Google search has the answer. What makes this one so difficult? Am I missing something? TIA! kj
