Maybe $TERM isn't right?

What is the value of $TERM and what type of terminal (or terminal emulator) are you using?

To find out what shell program you are running, just type "ps". Then look up the Shell with "man" to find out what sort of Shell it is. On modern systems the shell called "sh" is often the Posix Shell rather than the old Bourne Shell.

cpanplus::shell::default::plugins::source

CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)		 Perl Programmers Reference Guide	    CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands

SYNOPSIS

	   CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
       in it to execute, and then executes them.

       A sample file might look like this:

	   # first, update all the source files
	   x --update_source

	   # find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
	   # test them, and store the error log
	   a ^KANE$'
	   t *
	   p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log

	   # and inform us we're good to go
	   ! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"

       Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
