Hi,
I cant get neither history nor file completion to work. This is what I
have in my perdlrc:
require('PDL/default.perldlrc');
use PDL;
use PDL::Dbg; # Enable useful commands
use PDL::AutoLoader;
use Term::ReadLine;
#use Term::ReadKeys;
$PERLDL::HISTFILESIZE=1000;
#use PDL::Lite; # Alternative to above for hard-core freaks
# PDL waffle options (and pacify -w)
BEGIN{
$PDL::debug = $PDL::debug = 0;
$PDL::verbose = $PDL::verbose = 1;
}
use PDL::Doc::Perldl; # online docs module
1;
Any hints ?
