To enable tab-completion on standard Unix systems, simply install the Term::ReadLine::Gnu perl module. This module can be found at http://search.cpan.org as well as the "extras" subdirectory of this package. To install this module:
# cd extras # tar -zxf Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.14.tar.gz # cd Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.14 # perl Makefile.PL && make && make install # cd .. && rm -rf Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.14
If you are using Mac OS X, you will need to install the GNU readline package to enable tab completion.
