Re: [perl #52280] [PATCH] HLLCompiler: fix overriding default prompt using $commandline_prompt

2008-03-31 Thread Klaas-Jan Stol
Hi, Although the patch is appreciated, I think it's better to keep it empty; if you don't set a prompt, there shouldn't be one. I do not know a language that has an empty prompt, but I'm sure there is. Anyway, I think an empty prompt is a better default. my 2c, kjs On Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 12:09
