'perldl' shell was working, except that it gave ^[[ crud when I tried to
use arrow keys. Also, no history and no file completion. The man page
told me that I could load some modules and get command history, so I set
up a .perldlrc:
use Term::ReadLine;
use PDL::AutoLoader;
$PERLDL::HISTFILESIZE=1000;
This caused perldl do load, but then respond like this:
h...@cal ~> perldl
perlDL shell v1.35

ReadLines, NiceSlice, MultiLines enabled
Reading /users/hyer/.perldlrc...
Type 'demo' for online demos
Loaded PDL v2.4.4 (supports bad values)
perldl> help demo
String found where operator expected at (eval 29) line 4, near "help
'demo'"
(Do you need to predeclare help?)
syntax error at (eval 29) line 4, near "help 'demo'"
I had to delete .perldlrc to get back to the old behavior.
Can someone point me to the correct setup for .perldlrc to get command
history working?
P.S. If running perldl inside an emacs shell is better, that is also an
option for me.
Thanks,

P.P.S. 'man perldl' has this to say: "If you have the perl modules
ReadLines and ReadKeys installed, then perldl supports a history and
line-editing mechanism..." Modules by those names are nowhere referred
to outside of PDL documentation. I guessed that this actually refers to
Term::ReadLine and Term::ReadKey, is this correct?
