Thanks for the report. I'm not able to reproduce this (same version, on CentOS), and therefore don't have much clue where to start to. Which terminal do you use? Could you please run the following command and attach the "log" file to this bug report, so I can compare what's different in the way the package works on your system compared to mine? strace -f -o log perl -MTerm::ReadLine -e 'new Term::ReadLine("test")' Thanks

Thank you. strace shows it failing looking for Term::ReadLine::Perl Doing a 'locate', I see I have an old version /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Term/ReadLine/Perl.pm which is not owned by any package. I zapped the 5.8.5 directory and now the module is working fine. Please close the ticket, and I apologise for the dumb report. Regards, Brian.
