NAME

Term::Complete - Perl word completion module

    $input = complete('prompt_string', \@completion_list);    $input = complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);

This routine provides word completion on the list of words inthe array (or array ref).

The tty driver is put into raw mode using the system commandstty raw -echo and restored using stty -raw echo.

The following command characters are defined:

<tab>: Attempts word completion.Cannot be changed.
^D: Prints completion list.Defined by $Term::Complete::complete.
^U: Erases the current input.Defined by $Term::Complete::kill.
<del>, <bs>: Erases one character.Defined by $Term::Complete::erase1 and $Term::Complete::erase2.

Bell sounds when word completion fails.

The completion charater <tab> cannot be changed.
