# Test script to combine Term::Readline::Gnu and Event.
# Derived from the ptksh+ script by A. Bohnet which comes
# with Term::Readline::Gnu.
#
# The script does nothing more than just demonstrating how
# Term::Readline::Gnu can be combined with event loops built
# by using the Event module.
#
# The running event loop can be visualized by using the
# option -idle.
