pl - A Perl repl for running Perl commands interactively on the command line

SYNOPSIS

    pl

OPTIONS

none

DESCRIPTION

This is a command for running Perl statements interactively. You type a command and then the program prints the results. If the result is a reference (array, hash, blessed hash, etc.) it will print it out using Data::Dumper. It uses the RL module (readline) so you can press up and down to navigate your previously typed entries, as well as other line editing features.
