I've mentioned Term::ReadLine problems on the list before but never
received an answer. Well now with Perl 5.10.0 and PDK 7.2, ReadLine is
completely broken. I'm running this under CentOS 5 Final.

If I take the example code from the docs, it works just fine as a
standalone script.

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/;
}

Once perlapp'd, the first error is:

# ./read
Can't locate feature.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /tmp) at perlapp line
688.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /</tmp/read> SelfLoader.pm line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /</tmp/read> SelfLoader.pm line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/</tmp/read> Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 2289.

Ok, not that I wanted to, but I added > >use feature ":5.10";<< to the
top. Then this is my problem:

# ./read
readline doesn't contain an __DATA__ token at
/</tmp/read> Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 1438
