Thanks.

What happens when you run

    % perl -de 0

    Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.44
    Editor support available.

    Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'man perldebug' for more help.

    main::(-e:1):	0
      DB<1> p 1
    1
      DB<2>

...and then type UP-ARROW?

(When I do this, I get `^[[A`, and I also have installed
libterm-readline-perl-perl.)
