=head1 NAME

Term::ReadLine - Perl interface to various C<readline> packages.
If no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead of basic functions.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Term::ReadLine;
  my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'Simple Perl calc';
  my $prompt = "Enter your arithmetic expression: ";
  my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT;
  while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
    my $res = eval($_);
    warn $@ if $@;
    print $OUT $res, "\n" unless $@;
    $term->addhistory($_) if /\S/;
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package is just a front end to some other packages. It's a stub to
set up a common interface to the various ReadLine implementations found on
CPAN (under the C<Term::ReadLine::*> namespace).

=head1 Minimal set of supported functions

All the supported functions should be called as methods, i.e., either as 

  $term = new Term::ReadLine 'name';

or as 

  $term->addhistory('row');

where $term is a return value of Term::ReadLine-E<gt>new().

=over 12

=item C<ReadLine>

returns the actual package that executes the commands. Among possible
values are C<Term::ReadLine::Gnu>, C<Term::ReadLine::Perl>,
C<Term::ReadLine::Stub>.

=item C<new>

returns the handle for subsequent calls to following
functions. Argument is the name of the application. Optionally can be
followed by two arguments for C<IN> and C<OUT> filehandles. These
arguments should be globs.

=item C<readline>

gets an input line, I<possibly> with actual C<readline>
support. Trailing newline is removed. Returns C<undef> on C<EOF>.

=item C<addhistory>

adds the line to the history of input, from where it can be used if
the actual C<readline> is present.

=item C<IN>, C<OUT>

return the filehandles for input and output or C<undef> if C<readline>
input and output cannot be used for Perl.

=item C<MinLine>

If argument is specified, it is an advice on minimal size of line to
be included into history.  C<undef> means do not include anything into
history. Returns the old value.

=item C<findConsole>

returns an array with two strings that give most appropriate names for
files for input and output using conventions C<"E<lt>$in">, C<"E<gt>out">.

=item Attribs

returns a reference to a hash which describes internal configuration
of the package. Names of keys in this hash conform to standard
conventions with the leading C<rl_> stripped.

=item C<Features>

Returns a reference to a hash with keys being features present in
current implementation. Several optional features are used in the
minimal interface: C<appname> should be present if the first argument
to C<new> is recognized, and C<minline> should be present if
C<MinLine> method is not dummy.  C<autohistory> should be present if
lines are put into history automatically (maybe subject to
C<MinLine>), and C<addhistory> if C<addhistory> method is not dummy.

If C<Features> method reports a feature C<attribs> as present, the
method C<Attribs> is not dummy.

=back

=head1 Additional supported functions

Actually C<Term::ReadLine> can use some other package, that will
support a richer set of commands.

All these commands are callable via method interface and have names
which conform to standard conventions with the leading C<rl_> stripped.

The stub package included with the perl distribution allows some
additional methods: 

=over 12

=item C<tkRunning>

makes Tk event loop run when waiting for user input (i.e., during
C<readline> method).

=item C<ornaments>

makes the command line stand out by using termcap data.  The argument
to C<ornaments> should be 0, 1, or a string of a form
C<"aa,bb,cc,dd">.  Four components of this string should be names of
I<terminal capacities>, first two will be issued to make the prompt
standout, last two to make the input line standout.

=item C<newTTY>

takes two arguments which are input filehandle and output filehandle.
Switches to use these filehandles.

=back

One can check whether the currently loaded ReadLine package supports
these methods by checking for corresponding C<Features>.

=head1 EXPORTS

None

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

The environment variable C<PERL_RL> governs which ReadLine clone is
loaded. If the value is false, a dummy interface is used. If the value
is true, it should be tail of the name of the package to use, such as
C<Perl> or C<Gnu>.  

As a special case, if the value of this variable is space-separated,
the tail might be used to disable the ornaments by setting the tail to
be C<o=0> or C<ornaments=0>.  The head should be as described above, say

If the variable is not set, or if the head of space-separated list is
empty, the best available package is loaded.

  export "PERL_RL=Perl o=0"	# Use Perl ReadLine without ornaments
  export "PERL_RL= o=0"		# Use best available ReadLine without ornaments

(Note that processing of C<PERL_RL> for ornaments is in the discretion of the 
particular used C<Term::ReadLine::*> package).

=head1 CAVEATS

It seems that using Term::ReadLine from Emacs minibuffer doesn't work
quite right and one will get an error message like

    Cannot open /dev/tty for read at ...

One possible workaround for this is to explicitly open /dev/tty like this

    open (FH, "/dev/tty" )
      or eval 'sub Term::ReadLine::findConsole { ("&STDIN", "&STDERR") }';
    die $@ if $@;
    close (FH);

or you can try using the 4-argument form of Term::ReadLine->new().
