          insensitive match. [rt.cpan.org #72378]

        - sample code improvement
          eg/perlsh
                Perl symbol completion was rewritten and much more
                improved.
                SIGINT clears the current line
                add support \w (current working package) in the prompt

          are incorporated from the GNU Readline Library to support
          this feature.
        - now works on a system which does not have /etc/termcap and
          has termcap compatible library, libncurses or libcurses.
