NAME

App::perlsh - a simple perl REPL based on Lexical::Persistence

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use App::perlsh;
App::perlsh->run
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This module implements an application that provides a simple perl REPL ("read-execute-print loop"); that is, an interactive shell-like program that repeatedly reads perl code from input, executes it, and prints the result in a readable manner.

Being based on Lexical::Persistence allows it to accumulate variables along the session, letting the user reuse them in later lines.

            

              
              
$ perlsh
eval: my $one = 1;
'1'
eval: my $two = 2;
'2'
eval: $one + $two
'3'
eval:
