Yet another Perl REPL
I saw the new perlconsole-0.3 distribution today on CPAN Recent Uploads and that reminded me something.
Some months ago you had to look a lot to find out some Perl REPL, but now this thing is "fashionable". You actually may choose among:
(Obviously, there is more: including alternatives that I know of but don't remember an appropriate link and probably others that I've never heard about.)
Some knowledgeable guys have written about that as well.
- Matt Trout with Writing a perl read-eval-print loop (REPL) - part 1 and many other blog entries
- chromatic in Writing a Modern Perl REPL
and, from times to times, we see comments popping up here and there that touches this kind of tool (eg. tokuhirom with I wrote Test::ShellPerl).
Unfortunately, I have been a bit careless about Shell::Perl (pirl) in the last months. But it is far from abandoned, as I discover more people using it.
Have a thought about that? Please, share.

Thanks for recording me that. I wanted to play with it, but checking now, it does not build for cygwin (both 5.8.8, and 5.8.7). Looking closer, I just found negative interactions between open OUT, ">$to" and having perms 444 on $to, leading to close OUT dying! (file b/Config.PL in zoid distro). Thanks again as I am chasing a bug relating to filesystem-handling routines on cygwin, and this could be related somehow.

Carp::REPL (Score:1)
Person 1: Python (Django specifically) has a feature where if an exception is thrown, it drops you into a REPL.
Person 2: I wonder how hard it would be to add that to Perl.
Person 3: Depends on how sick and twisted you want to get.
Thus, Carp::REPL [cpan.org] was born. :) It uses Devel::REPL for the repl-y bits. Hope someone finds it useful!
