Term::GDBUI README Scott Bronson 16 Dec 2003 Term::GDBUI makes it easy (almost trivial) to implement a very comprehensive Bash or GDB-like user interface. It supports history, autocompletion, quoting, escaping, pretty much everything you would expect of a decent shell. To use this class, you just need to declare your command set (see the module's POD for how, or look at the examples). You need to write almost no code. This module is similar to Sullivan Beck's Term::TUI module. Unfortunately, Term::TUI presents its own hierarchical-style interface while I needed strict GDB compliance or DDD would be very unhappy. If my module doesn't do what you want, I suggest you give Term::TUI a look. I even implemented TUI's sample.pl file using GDBUI for comparison. See the tui-sample file. PREREQUISITES None! It runs just fine with Perl's default Term::ReadLine. However, it will be missing a number of features such as command history, completion, etc. Install Term::ReadLine::GNU or Term::ReadLine::Perl to take advantage of these.
