NAME

       Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory - Integrate history with the facilities provided by
       Term::ReadLine

VERSION

       version 1.003029

DESCRIPTION

       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":

         $_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;

CONFLICTS

       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.
