This is a bug report for perl from darin.mcbride@shaw.ca,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.12.4.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Term::ReadLine only allows the Tk event loop to be called during
a readline call.  This should be updated to use AnyEvent which will
still work with Tk, as well as any other event loop the user may need.

The only downside of this patch is that users currently using TRL with Tk
will need to install AE, too.
