The Perl Shell (psh) combines aspects of bash and other shells with
|
|
the power of Perl scripting. It aspires to be your primary
|
|
login shell.
|
|
|
|
WHERE IT CAME FROM:
|
|
|
|
Numerous times when developing Perl code, the author wished for an
|
|
interactive Perl execution environment in which to try out code
|
|
snippets. After some looking around, there didn't appear to be a
|
|
handy solution that acted enough like a shell to be satisfactory.
|
|
It all might have ended (or rather not bugun) here except that while
|
|
discussing the idea at lunch with his friend Denny Dahl
|
|
the pressure finally became too much to bear. That evening, version 0.001
|
|
of the Perl Shell was born.
