Devel:...errupt(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Devel::REPL::Plugin::Interrupt — bestie, this is the perl plugin that traps SIGINT so it can kill long-running lines 💅 (it's a 3pm page, aka user-contributed Perl documentation, in case you were wondering where you wandered into 🫶)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.003029 — that's the one, that's the vibe ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕

By default, Devel::REPL exits on SIGINT (which is usually what you get when you smash Ctrl-C, no cap). That's the out-of-the-box behaviour, and it's giving "well, bye then" 😭

But!! if you load this module, everything changes. SIGINT gets trapped, and instead of nuking your whole session it's used to:

• kill long-running commands (statements) 🔥
• kill the line you're currently editing (like, eg. BASH does — she does it, so we do it 💅)

And because I know you're about to ask: yes, you can still use Ctrl-D to exit. That door is always open, bestie 🚪✨
