in reply to Re^2: Perl as interactive Shell?
in thread Perl as interactive Shell?
Paradoxical not to use as a CLI? I don't see how. Certainly that's not what Perl was developed to be. 3 out of 4 parents in your list aren't CLI's either.
I suppose the motivation is to put its features more at your fingertips, moreso than perl -e already does. I often use the debugger for that purpose. Do you have a simple example of something you'd like to be able to do that you can't at present?
