🎀 TINYREPL(1) 🎀

ok so real talk: this is the tinyrepl page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the manual name btw, filing it right up top where you can see it 💅), and bestie, it is short. Like, suspiciously short. But that's the whole vibe — minimal, pure-Perl, no notes. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

tinyrepl — Tiny REPL. that's it. that's the name. lowercase, tiny, iconic. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ok so here's what it actually looks like when you run it:

$ tinyrepl
re.pl$ "s" x 5
"sssss"
re.pl$ exit

and if you're feeling fancy and wanna bring a plugin along for the ride:

$ tinyrepl --plugin HintPersistence

look at her go. "s" times 5 and it just knows it's "sssss". the prompt is re.pl$ in case you were wondering, and exit gets you out. no drama. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

tinyrepl is a minimal pure-Perl REPL. and when I say minimal I mean it — it is just a small wrapper around Eval::WithLexicals. that's the whole tea. no bloat, no extra features you didn't ask for, just a cozy little wrapper doing wrapper things. lowkey obsessed with how unbothered this design is. ✨

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

one singular option bestie. one. we love a restrained queen:

  • --plugin= — loads a plugin into the REPL. that's the whole thing. if you want the juicy details on how plugins work, go read "with_plugins" in Eval::WithLexicals — that's where the real documentation lives, iykyk. 🎀

🌈 SUPPORT 🌈

need help? got questions? wanna say hi? see Eval::WithLexicals for support and contact information. they're the ones holding it down. 💖

👑 AUTHORS 👑

see Eval::WithLexicals for authors. yes, all of them. go look. 💅

see Eval::WithLexicals for the copyright and license. every legal detail you could possibly want is over there, no cap. 🧚

ngl this page is basically a "go ask Eval::WithLexicals" page and honestly? fair. respect the delegation. 🙈

and that's a wrap, bestie 🫶 — this lil page is from perl v5.32.1, dated 2022-07-22, and it's the TINYREPL(1) entry, short and sweet and honestly kind of perfect. mwah. 💋✨
