Readline ======= Readline provides a Perl 6 interface to libreadline. XXX This will probably be a frontend to Readline::Gnu when that's factored out. XXX For the moment keep all the code here in the Readline module. Installation ============ Please make sure that libreadline is installed beforehand, the tests will fail otherwise. If libreadline is installed but the tests still fail, please note that the Perl 6 package searches a given set of directories for libreadline.{so,dynlib}.* files, otherwise it defaults to v7. If your libreadline installation isn't on any of these paths, or requires non-standard setup, please file an issue. For those of you on Linux Debian and Linux-alike systems, you should be able to get the latest version with this CLI invocation: ``` sudo apt-get install libreadline7 ``` (I'd prefer to use LibraryCheck, but it fails inside the 'is native()' method call.) * Using zef (a module management tool bundled with Rakudo Star): ``` zef update && zef install Readline ``` Or alternatively installing it from a checkout of this repo with zef: ``` zef install . ``` ## Testing To run tests: ``` prove -e perl6 ``` ## Author Jeffrey Goff, DrForr on #perl6, https://github.com/drforr/ ## License Artistic License 2.0
