 my $root = $inst -> config_root ;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a helper to construct pure ascii user interface on top of Term::ReadLine. To get better interaction you must install either Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl.

Depending on your installation, either Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl. See Term::ReadLine to override default choice.

USER COMMAND SYNTAX

See "USER COMMAND SYNTAX" in Config::Model::SimpleUI.

CONSTRUCTOR

parameters

root

Root node of the configuration tree

title

UI title

prompt

UI prompt. The prompt will be completed with the location of the current node.

Methods

run_loop()

Engage in user interaction until user enters '^D' (CTRL-D).

BUGS

• Auto-completion is not complete.

• Auto-completion provides wrong choice when you try to cd in a hash where the index contains a white space. I.e. the correct command is cd foo:"a b" instead of cd foo: "a b" as proposed by auto completion.

• UI should take into account experience.
