-The ReadKey module provides ioctl control for terminals so the input
-modes can be changed (thus allowing reads of a single character at a
-time), and also provides non-blocking reads of stdin, as well as several
-other terminal related features, including retrieval/modification of the
-screen size, and retrieval/modification of the control characters.
+Term::ReadLine::Gnu (TRG) is an implementation of the interface to
+the GNU Readline Library. This module gives you input line editing
+facility, input history management facility, word completion
+facility, etc. It uses the real GNU Readline Library and has the
+interface with the almost all variables and functions which are
+documented in the GNU Readline/History Library. So you can program
+your custom editing function, your custom completion function, and
+so on with Perl. TRG may be useful for prototyping before programming
+with C.
