Setup: OS Linux (Redhat 8)
Perl:  5.8.0
CPAN:  1.65 
$SHELL: Bash

Anyone else here have trouble getting a command history to work with
the perl CPAN shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell)?

I have mu OS readline packages  installed.
rpm -qa |grep readline
readline-4.3-3
readline-devel-4.3-3

As well as the perl modules
  Term::ReadLine
  Term::ReadLine::Gnu

In the .cpan directory I see a `histfile' and it has a few commands in
it.  But I can't seem to access them. Trying the emacs-like up arrow
gives me "A".  Trying for vi type syntax, press ESC then k, types ^[k.
Trying the old emacs style with C-p types ^p.

What do I need to do to get a cmd history working?
