Will-
I'm glad you got things going with command
line editing support for perldl. There is
also an updated PDL shell called pdl2 which
provides some improved support for completions
of various types if you have the needed module
dependencies installed.
If you try to run pdl2 and the dependencies
are not there, it should quietly start up
the perldl shell instead so you can have one
stop shopping for the PDL shell.
Enjoy!

Hello piddlers,
/*perldl*/is one great prototyping tool, and I am making great
progress understanding and mastering PDL running it in macOS, but thus
far, enabling history list and command line editing inside perldl has
been a total bust. The docos say the command line editor is
emacs-like. I would prefer vi but /*any*/command line editing is
welcome, given how I am using perldl to learn PDL. However, I cannot
enable the history list nor edit a previous line other than doing very
precise cut and paste. Here is the initial announcement when I start
perldl:
$ perldl
perlDL shell v1.357

And here is what I get with the l command, 'l', not '1';
Can't locate object method "GetHistory" via package
"Term::ReadLine::Stub" at
/Users/carly/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.3/bin/perldl line 313,

What am I missing? What Perl/PDL modules must be present? Getting
history and command editing working would truly make perldl an
effective learning tool.
Thanks and regards,
Will Schmidt
