Verification

• My brew doctor output says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I ran brew update and am still able to reproduce my issue.
• I have resolved all warnings from brew doctor and that did not fix my problem.
• I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I was trying to run git send-email.

What happened (include all command output)?

<email headers redacted>
Can't locate Term/ReadLine.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Term::ReadLine module) (@INC entries checked: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/git/2.49.0/share/perl5 /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.40 /usr/local/share/perl5/5.40 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 964.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected to see a confirmation prompt for sending the email.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

# To get the bug:

brew install git perl
cd <$SOME_GIT_REPO_WITH_COMMITS_IN_IT>
# make a change
git commit -am "yolo"
git send-email --to=<projectlist@email.provider> HEAD^

# To get the expected behavior:

brew install git perl
cd <$SOME_GIT_REPO_WITH_COMMITS_IN_IT>
# make a change
git commit -am "yolo"
# Add Homebrew's linked Perl to the PERL5LIB path environment variable:
export PERL5LIB=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/lib/perl5/$(readlink $(which perl) | cut -d/ -f4 | cut -d. -f1,2)
git send-email --to=<projectlist@email.provider> HEAD^

still broken

I think this is expected, the officially supported os usually have installed perl already but I think your's are not. Then there should be an extra process to install perl and configure it, that is what you have done.
