DESCRIPTION
This module provides a helper to construct pure ascii user interface on top of Term::ReadLine. To get better interaction you must install either Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl.

Depending on your installation, either Term::ReadLine::Gnu or Term::ReadLine::Perl. See Term::ReadLine to override default choice.

USER COMMAND SYNTAX

root
    Root node of the configuration tree

BUGS

•   Auto-completion is not complete.

•   Auto-completion provides wrong choice when you try to "cd" in a hash where the index contains a white space. I.e. the correct command is "cd foo:"a b"" instead of "cd foo: "a b"" as proposed by auto completion.

•   UI should take into account experience.
