In Cygwin the readline() call in the following script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Term::ReadLine;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $term = new Term::ReadLine 'whatever';
print "term=$term\n";
my $foo = $term->readline("edit: ", "initstring");
print "$foo\n";
gives me "initstring" as the initial value of the string to be edited
(displayed after the "edit: " prompt).
With ActivePerl I only get the prompt and an _empty_ string to edit.
I whish I knew how to change that.
(In the following snippets I press ENTER after the prompt.)

In Cygwin on the same box (which is running W2k) I get with
Term::ReadLine::Gnu as well as with Term::ReadLine:Perl and the script
above:
