[editor's note: this commit combines approximate 4 months of furious releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for details. Andy notes that; Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge backup tapes from that era seem to be readable anymore. I guess 13 years exceeds the shelf life for that backup technology :-(. ]

+#
+# Author: Wayne Thompson
+#
+# Description:
+# This routine provides word completion.
+# (TAB) attempts word completion.
+# (^D) prints completion list.
+# (These may be changed by setting $Complete::complete, etc.)
+#
+# Diagnostics:
+# Bell when word completion fails.
+#
+# Dependencies:
+# The tty driver is put into raw mode.
+#
+# Bugs:
+#
+# Usage:
+# $input = complete('prompt_string', \@completion_list);
+# or
+# $input = complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);
+#
