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:
