E.g., for activestate perl: TERM=dumb /c/Perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell run from zsh prompt works correctly with readline support. Now if I put that in a script: #!/bin/sh TERM=dumb /c/Perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell then when I run the script the readline support is disabled for some reason. What are differences in environment in a script as opposed to the regular prompt that would cause this? And is there a workaround? Does it have something to do with STDIN redirection away from the console? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
