It's just bad formatting. Just change 'on' to 'On' and vice versa for 'off'.
No need to delete any lines.

Subject: unknown CPAN variables
Can someone explain the following. The file /etc/inputrc certainly has the
'wrong' lines in it, but I am loathe to delete them without understanding
what I am doing. (mmm, I wonder where I screwed up..)
[root@prc /root]# perl -MCPAN -e shell
Warning [/etc/inputrc line 4]:
