Hi,
I have tried to install Term::REadLine::Gnu. Get the below errors when it is
being make. Can CPan install libreadline-dev library?
Running install for module 'Term::ReadLine::Gnu'
Running make for H/HA/HAYASHI/Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.20.tar.gz
CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47)

The libreadline you are using is the libedit library. Use the GNU Readline
Library.

Could not read metadata file. Falling back to other methods to determine
prerequisites
I have a MAC Lion with Perl 5.12. If this makes any difference.
