💖 SEPL(1p) — like, the Sepia shell but make it a terminal 💖

okay bestie, come sit with me because this is sepl, aka a Term::ReadLine-based Sepia interactive shell. It's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe. It's cute, it's chatty, and it lets you talk to Perl in real time. iconic behavior honestly ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

    $ sepl
    Type ",h" for help, or ",q" to quit.
    main @> substr "hello, japh", 7
    'japh'
    main @>

see that? You run sepl, it tells you to hit ,h for help or ,q to quit, and then you just... yap at Perl and Perl yaps back. ate. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea 🍓: sepl uses Sepia::ReadLine to hand you an interactive Perl shell, and it brings a bunch of the Sepia features you'd normally only get in Emacs — completion and all the shortcuts included. iykyk.

lowkey important: it is not well-tested and not frequently used, so treat it as experimental. No cap. Don't be shocked if it's giving chaos. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Sepia
  • Term::ReadLine

Alsoooo most of Sepia's documentation gets installed in Emacs' info format. On most systems you can read it straight from the command line by typing "info sepia". 🎀
