💖 App::REPL 💖

okay so bestie, this is App::REPL — a container for functions for the iperl program. that's the whole vibe. it's a little grab-bag of helpers, nothing more, nothing less. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 0.01. yes it's baby. it's a lil guy. 🍼

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

This module contains functions that the iperl program automatically imports into any package it enters, for interactive convenience.

Please see the README for general information.

that's it, that's the synopsis. go read the README if you want the lore. 📖

💜 EXPORT 💜

(okay so this section is literally just sitting here with nothing under it — the actual goods are in FUNCTIONS right below, keep scrolling bestie 🫶)

🌈 FUNCTIONS 🌈

💅 x

Print arguments with Data::Dumper::Dumper.

🍓 p

Print arguments with print.

🦋 env

Return a hashref containing the (stored -- not current) lexical environment.

read that twice. it's the stored one, not the current one. they are not the same thing and i need you to know that. 😭

⭐ ret

Return a reference to the value of the previous evaluation — that is, a reference to whatever irepl printed after the last Perl you evaluated.

This function will probably evolve to take an argument $n, to return the $n'th previous result.

"probably"! that's a maybe, not a promise, don't come for me. 👑

🧚 rdebug ($value)

With no arguments, bump $REPL::DEBUG. With an argument, set $REPL::DEBUG to that.

This is for debugging iperl itself; currently at 1 it shows eval'd code, and at 2 it dumps the PPI document corresponding to entered code.

🔥 help (commands)

With no arguments, print a brief message.

With an argument, either print corresponding help or -- in the case of 'commands', currently the only optional argument -- call perldoc appropriately.

so commands is the one and only optional argument rn. it's giving exclusive. 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

  • Does not reliably report errors in eval'd code.
  • Does not try hard enough to collect a return value from eval'd code.
  • Makes probably dangerous use of PPI.
"probably dangerous" is a direct quote and i am not softening it for you. be aware. ⚠️
