I’m always forgetting what pieces I need to make this happen, so I’m writing a note to my future self.

Ubuntu Packages

Install:

• libncurses-dev
• libreadline-dev

Perl Packages

Install:

• Term::ReadLine::Gnu

Save a little time with puppet

Include these somewhere and run a puppet update

class libncurses-dev {
    package { libncurses-dev: ensure => latest }
}

class libreadline-dev {
    package { libreadline-dev: ensure => latest }
}

Save the history to a file

Add this to ~/.perldb

&parse_options("HistFile=$ENV{HOME}/.perldb.hist");
