Description :
Term::Completion is an extensible, highly configurable replacement for the
venerable Term::Complete package. It is object-oriented and thus allows
subclassing. Two derived classes are Term::Completion::Multi and
Term::Completion::Path.
A prompt is printed and the user may enter one line of input, submitting
the answer by pressing the ENTER key. This basic scenario can be
implemented like this:
my $answer = < STDIN>
chomp $answer;
But often you don\'t want the user to type in the full word (from a list of
choices), but allow _completion_, i.e. expansion of the word as far as
possible by pressing as few keys as necessary.
Some users like to cycle through the choices, preferably with the up/down
arrow keys.
And finally, you may not want the user to enter any random characters, but
_validate_ what was enter and come back if the entry did not pass the
validation.
If you are missing full line editing (left/right, delete to the left and
right, jump to the beginning and the end etc.), you are probably wrong
here, and want to consider Term::ReadLine and friends.
