Hi Luis,

PDL isn't just an interactive environment. "Required" would be wrong. I use the 
interactive part very heavily (which isn't very surprising), and wouldn't want 
to use it without readline (which I have faced when debugging in a qemu 
environment on a weird architecture). I am not going to make any of the Term::* 
be "required" for PDL. I hope you understand.

If it helps, the REPL script was installed, but not all of the components. It 
does sound like you're asking me to make a separate PDL::REPL repo where that 
stuff would live, but I don't want to do that.

Best regards,
Ed

The doubt I have now is, should Term::ReadKey be recommended or should
it be required? The problem is that the repl's were installed, but
they didn't work without it.

Ok, thanks. I'll pass that info to the students.
