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?

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.

Heh, oddly enough the Term::ReadLine::Perl module's source name
will have to be:

libterm-readline-perl-perl

Why not just call it libterm-readline-perl -- it's not going to conflict

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. :)
