# App::REPL(3pm)

A container for functions for the iperl program

## NAME

App::REPL - A container for functions for the iperl program

## VERSION

Version 0.01

## 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.

## EXPORT

## FUNCTIONS

### x

Print arguments with `"Data::Dumper::Dumper"`

### p

Print arguments with `"print"`

### env

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

### 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.

### 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.

## 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.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to `"bug-app-repl@rt.cpan.org"`, or through the web interface at \<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=App-REPL\>. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
