in reply to Want to get Term::Complete to complete with Unicode UTF-8

I guess it's concerned with readline, not the completion itself. Any chance to check on other Term:: modules like Term::ReadLine::Perl or Term::ReadLine::Gnu?

Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!

    It would be nice to get it working somehow. The Completion list works, as it shows correctly the Unicode characters. When I try typing, instead od ž it shows ž and only at the place where is the completion in question:
    Thetabiz CRM:c
    First name: ž
    Last name: 
    E-mail (1): 
    E-mail (2): 
    E-mail (3): 
    Mobile phone: ž
    Office phone: 
    Now complete
    Account (1): ž <-- here is completion and the list
    
    Any other clue?
      what shows when you type the character you want on the command line (not in your program input)?

        Command line, in shell, characters are fine. I work with Unicode always. Example ž or ® I can type everything fine in shell, including in that same software, as long as I am not on the line which is under Completion function. That is why I was thinking it is matter of Term::Completion which I use, and I don't have other Completion function to use, that I know. Even in that function, pressing TAB shows correctly Unicode choice, but under that function, using Unicode does not work.
        I found on Internet, but information may not be true, that Term::Readline does not support Unicode.
