Readline
=======
Readline provides a Perl 6 interface to libreadline.
XXX This will probably be a frontend to Readline::Gnu when that's factored out.
XXX For the moment keep all the code here in the Readline module.
Installation
============
Please make sure that libreadline is installed beforehand, the tests will fail otherwise. If libreadline is installed but the tests still fail, please note that the Perl 6 package searches a given set of directories for libreadline.{so,dynlib}.* files, otherwise it defaults to v7. If your libreadline installation isn't on any of these paths, or requires non-standard setup, please file an issue.
For those of you on Linux Debian and Linux-alike systems, you should be able to get the latest version with this CLI invocation:
```
sudo apt-get install libreadline7
```
(I'd prefer to use LibraryCheck, but it fails inside the 'is native()' method call.)
* Using zef (a module management tool bundled with Rakudo Star):
```
zef update && zef install Readline
```
Or alternatively installing it from a checkout of this repo with zef:
```
zef install .
```
## Testing
To run tests:
```
prove -e perl6
```
