Just to pick nits, that's part of the self-test suite for Term::ReadLine,
which is a module that's specified in Bundle::CPAN.

Just press enter to accept the default Perl expression "exit".

Finally, at LONG last, I'm starting-up CPAN module (on my machine).

Asked a bunch of question; ok, answered them.

Now it's (just after?) "testing",

and it keeps asking me:

Enter arithmetic or Perl expression:

Now, it does work: 3 + 5 does give 8.

(Good enough for me!)

QUESTION: how to tell it that I'm happy enough -- please,
no more of those

Enter arithmetic or Perl expression:


questions; proceed to finishing-up.


Thanks!

David

Xemacs actually - but close enough. Xemacs' shell doesn't show me the default
"exit" text either, nor does simply hitting "enter" do any good.

Typing out "exit", or sending an EOF with C-d both work for me.

I'm pretty sure it's Term::ReadLine:erl. At least, running "test
Term::ReadLine:erl" runs that test.

Thanks for that super-fast response!



OK, I tried that, but no luck.

Probably has to do with my doing the run out of
an emacs *shell*-window.

With luck, you too will be an emacs-user, and will
be able to suggest a way out!

Thanks,

David

prompt, so I can try to figure out maybe what
I can kludge-up to feed it.

(I'm about to set up a huge egrep to look for
that string -- I haven't found it via a quick
search of the cpan module (I think).)
