A private forum where contrary opinions are vehemently silenced to the
point of causing anyone who expresses them and defends them to be
excised from the list.

Oh, is that the person I'm suppose to respect for volunteering for such
an authoritarian position?  That they exclude outside opinions and close
off their personal forums of input is not a cause for respect.

    I will not agree because someone has the power to make bad decisions

     I don't see how it would work under 5.16.2 and not under 5.18.0.
I didn't change spellings or configs for 5.18.0.  There is no reference
to Readline in my config:

__END__

The code fails as downloaded from CPAN.  IF the error is in there, it is
in the CORE code I downloaded.

To quote the previous poster: take responsibility for your own
bugs.
