Subject: test file prompt needs to include how to exit the prompt
"Enter a perl expression" doesn't clearly indicate that typing "exit" is what gets out of it and moves on. This could be a problem for less sophisicated users. Please update the prompt statement in the next release.

Do you mean the case when T::R::P is disabled? Otherwise 'exit' is the "default" value, so just pressing Enter will do it... Thanks, Ilya

Apologies for the short diagnostic message. At least during testing with T::R::P 1.0302 for Win32 Vanilla Perl 5.8.8, just pressing Enter didn't do it. (Could this be an issue with newlines?) Here's an example of the output (the third example is just hitting "Enter"): Show quoted text

Looks like a bug. Show quoted text

Hard to imagine how this could happen... Do not know how to debug it remotely... Yours, Ilya

For reference, I'm running under TERM=dumb. (Not sure why -- I think I needed it at some point in the past.) It looks like the default passed to readline is just ignored in the call to "readline_dumb". More generally, it looks like there are a lot of ways for readline to return without taking into account the default. I only see one small block of code in that section that references $_[1] and I'm not even sure how that generates a default value. Regards, David
