# PDL::Perldl2::PDLCommands(3pm)

implement perldl aliases/escapes

## NAME

PDL::Perldl2::Plugin::PDLCommands - implement perldl aliases/escapes

## DESCRIPTION

This plugin implements the various convenience features of the perldl shell which correspond, roughly, to aliases and some structured pre-processing of the command line entered:

- q\|x\|exit\|quit as shortcuts to quit the shell

  - ?? as an alias for apropos

  - ? as an alias for help

  - Autoquoting for arguments to help\|usage\|apropos\|sig\|badinfo\|demo

  - $PERLDL::ESCAPE at the start of a command line to escape to the shell, defaults to "#"
