NAME

Acme::Shell - Interactive Perl 5 shell

VERSION

This document is for version .002 of Acme::Shell.

SYNOPSIS

A wrapper script, acme-sh, is included with this distribution.

Welcome to Acme::Shell.

Commands:
  exit          # exit
  ?pkgname      # perldoc for named package
  !cmd          # spawn system shell and run cmd

Hitting <return> 2 times will eval the buffer and continue.

perl> print "$$\n";
perl> 
2730
perl> my $var = "Hello there";
perl> 
perl> print "$var\n";
perl> 
Hello there
perl> if ( $var ) {
perl>   print "Still in scope: $var\n";
perl> } else {
perl>   die "This should never happen!\n";
perl> }
perl> 
Still in scope: Hello there
perl> exit

acme-sh just does this:

use Acme::Shell;

my $shell = Acme::Shell->new();

$shell->run();

DESCRIPTION

This module glues Term::ReadLine to Lexical::Persistence, forming the basis for a very simple interactive Perl 5 shell. There isn't much to it.

If Term::ReadLine::Gnu is not available on the local system, certain features like tab completion, up/down arrow support, and history file (~/.acmesh_history) will not work.

SEE ALSO

Lexical::Persistence, Term::ReadLine

Acme::Shell was originally included as an experimental add-on for OP.
