# Devel::REPL::Plugin::Turtles(3pm)

Generic command creation using a read hook

## NAME

Devel::REPL::Plugin::Turtles - Generic command creation using a read hook

## VERSION

version 1.003029

## DESCRIPTION

By default, this plugin allows calling commands using a read hook to detect a default\_command\_prefix followed by the command name, say MYCMD as an example.  The actual routine to call for the command is constructed by looking for subs named 'command\_MYCMD' or 'expr\_MYCMD' and executing them.

### NOTE

The `"default_command_prefix"` is `"qr/\#/"` so care must be taken if other uses for that character are needed (e.g., '#' for the shell escape character in the PDL shell.

## SUPPORT

Bugs may be submitted through the RT bug tracker \<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Devel-REPL\> (or bug-Devel-REPL@rt.cpan.org \<mailto:bug-Devel-REPL@rt.cpan.org\>).

There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at `"#devel"` on `"irc.perl.org"` \<irc://irc.perl.org/#devel-repl\>.
