DESCRIPTION

    This distribution installs Editline so that it can be used by other
    Perl distributions. If already installed for your operating system, and
    it can be found, this distribution will use the Editline that comes
    with your operating system, otherwise it will download it from the
    Internet, build and install it fro you.
