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:
