Gaah - another big line-editing library!  My editor's even smaller than
libedit!

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  60113    4352       0   64465    fbd1 /usr/lib/libedit.so
 117406   14004    1464  132874   2070a /usr/lib/libreadline.so
  48843     636    4492   53971    d2d3 tst

I'll add my editing package to my things-to-clean-up list and make it
available when I next have some time.

I've never cared for perl tho'.  

Growing up programming on a KL-10, I still think the correct place for
line-editing is in the driver.  Hell - it's already doing basic
erase/kill line editing as it is.  Then you don't have to hack every
command-line app to get line-editing.
