NAME

   perlconsole - light program that lets you evaluate Perl code
   interactively.

COPYRIGHT

DESCRIPTION

   Perl Console is a small program that implements a Read-eval-print loop:
   it lets you evaluate Perl code interactively.

   It uses Readline to grab input, and provides completion with all the
   namespaces loaded during your session. It allows you to load a module
   in your session and test a function exported by it.

COMMANDS

   It's possible to interact with the console with internal commands. The
   following commands are supported in this version:

   :help display the interactive help screen
   :quit quit the console
   :set set a preference (see PREFERENCES).

RCFILE

   PerlConsole will look for a rcfile located in your home directory
   called: ~/.perlconsolerc

   Every line in that file will be evaluated as if they were issued in the
   console.  You can then load there your favorite modules, or even define
   your preferences.

   Example of a valid ~/.perlconsolerc

       :set output = dumper
       use Date::Calc;

PREFERENCES

   Preferences can be set with the :set command. The following preferences
   are supported in this version:

   output changes the output of evaluated code

   For details about commands, ype :help <command> within the console.
