my_nihilist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am having a hard time understanding the Term::ReadLine::Gnu documentation and there is very little else to be found on-line. Perhaps this error may light a bulb:
function is not of type rl_command_func_tPtr at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Term/ReadLine/Gnu/XS.pm line 98.
This was produced with:the "key" argument to bind_key (61) must be numeric.
anyway, there is a whole slew of functions listed in the documentation that obviously presume a knowledge i don't have, because there are no usage examples or explanations, and i have grown tired guessing. I thot anything beginning with "int" is for C...
