       Term::Complete - Perl word completion module

SYNOPSIS
           $input = Complete('prompt_string', \@completion_list);

DESCRIPTION
       This routine provides word completion on the list of words
       in the array (or array ref).

       The tty driver is put into raw mode using the system com-
       mand "stty raw -echo" and restored using "stty -raw echo".

       The following command characters are defined:

       <tab>
           Attempts word completion.  Cannot be changed.

       ^D  Prints completion list.  Defined by $Term::Com-
           plete::complete.

       ^U  Erases the current input.  Defined by $Term::Com-
           plete::kill.

       <del>, <bs>
           Erases one character.  Defined by $Term::Com-
           plete::erase1 and $Term::Complete::erase2.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Bell sounds when word completion fails.

BUGS
       The completion character <tab> cannot be changed.
