Term::Cap was not able to find LE or RI capabilities for your
terminal. These move the cursor left and right, respectively.
ReadLine uses Term::Cap instead of Term::Info because the former
module comes standard with Perl.
The main causes of this problem have been:
An incomplete termcap database. Your termcap may not support LE and
RI capabilities even if your terminal does.
A mis-set TERM environment variable.
A terminal type that doesn't support these features. This has been
very rare, though.
I'm confident the problem can be worked around, but I haven't had the
opportunity to work on it. Patches are welcome. In the meantime, I'm
sending a copy of this message to POE's bug tracker so it's on file.
