Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory - Integrate history with the facilities provided by Term::ReadLine
version 1.003028
This plugin enables loading and saving command line history from a file as well has history expansion of previous commands using the !-syntax a la bash.
By default, history expansion is enabled with this plugin when using Term::ReadLine::Gnu. That means that "loose" '!' characters will be treated as history events which may not be what you wish.
To avoid this, you need to quote the '!' with '\':
my $var = "foo\!";
or place the arguments in single quotes---but enable the Term::ReadLine attribute history_quotes_inhibit_expansion:
Term::ReadLine
history_quotes_inhibit_expansion
$_REPL->term->Attribs->{history_quotes_inhibit_expansion} = 1; my $var = 'foo!';
and to disable history expansion from GNU readline/history do
$_REPL->term->Attribs->{do_expand} = 0;
Note that Term::ReadLine::Perl does not support a history expansion method. In that case, you may wish to use the Devel::REPL History plugin which provides similar functions. Work is underway to make use of either History or ReadLineHistory> consistent for expansion with either the Term::ReadLine::Gnu support or Term::ReadLine::Perl.
Bugs may be submitted through the RT bug tracker (or bug-Devel-REPL@rt.cpan.org).
