wanted package: perl CPAN readline module
Evidently CPAN has a Term-ReadLine package that makes the standard Term::ReadLine module in perl actually have readline features. I wonder if someone familiar with CPAN packages would be interested in packaging this up for debian? I'd do it myself but I don't know much about CPAN, and I maintain too much already. -- see shy jo

I wonder if someone familiar with CPAN Joey packages would be interested in packaging this up for Joey debian? I'm pretty familiar with CPAN packages. I can package up either Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl, or both. They're currently the only modules available that make Term::ReadLine effective. Sound good?

Yes, please :-) What's the difference between the ::Gnu and ::Perl ones? -- see shy jo, discovering the resource of 200 people to do his work for him ;-)

Joey Yes, please :-) Okay, I'll work on this tonight. :) Joey What's the difference between the ::Gnu and ::Perl ones? The ::Gnu one uses GNU readline and is full-featured, the ::Perl one is implemented mostly in Perl and has less features. -- Brought to you by the letters U and A and the number 1.

Re: wanted package: perl CPAN readline module
Heh, oddly enough the Term::ReadLine::Perl module's source name will have to be: libterm-readline-perl-perl *grin* -- Brought to you by the letters N and C and the number 11. You forgot Uranus.

That suggests that the module contained in the package is called Term::ReadLine. That's not the case. Also, someone could conceivably package up Term::ReadLine from CPAN, as the version there is generally newer than the version in the main Perl distribution. That would conflict with my package if it were properly called libterm-readline-perl. Anyway, it's a done deal now, as I've uploaded libterm-readline-perl-perl and libterm-readline-gnu-perl. :) I already found an i386ism in the libterm-readline-perl-perl debian/rules (d'oh) so I'll make a second upload to fix that. :) Ben -- Brought to you by the letters T and W and the number 1.
