Can't really help you about tab completion. You could read in the keypresses chararcter by character and write your own parser. But i guess this should already be a solved problem.
A workaround would be to use Term::Readline. You could - for example - prepolulate the history. Something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Term::ReadLine;
my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('Tabtest');
my $prompt = "Test your tabs, guv: ";
if ($^O eq "MSWin32" || $^O eq "dos") {
my $INPUT;
open($INPUT, "<con")
and $term->newTTY($INPUT, $term->OUT);
}
foreach my $command (qw[print hello echo foo bar baz]) {
$term->addhistory($command);
}
while(defined(my $line = $term->readline($prompt))) {
chomp $line;
exit if($line eq "exit");
print "I don't know how to '$line'\n";
$term->addhistory($line);
}
Not quite what you wanted, i know, but i'm also fresh out of ideas.
Don't use '#ff0000':
use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED();
All colors subject to change without notice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
