Devel:...urtles(3pm)

💖 Devel::REPL::Plugin::Turtles 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the 3pm section for the perl girlies keeping track 🐚) and it's literally called Devel::REPL::Plugin::Turtles — Generic command creation using a read hook. yes the name is silly. no we don't make the rules. 🌸

✨ VERSION ✨

this is version 1.003029 🎀

---

🐢 DESCRIPTION 🐢

so like, out of the box, this plugin lets you call commands using a read hook that sniffs out a default_command_prefix followed by a command name. say MYCMD, as an example, because that's the example and we're using it. 💅

and then the actual routine that gets called for that command? it's constructed by looking for subs named command_MYCMD or expr_MYCMD and executing them. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it finds the sub, it runs the sub. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

🌈 NOTE 🌈

the "default_command_prefix" is qr/\#/ 😭 so pls be careful if you need that character for literally anything else — for example, '#' being used for the shell escape character in the PDL shell. no cap, they will fight. 💀
