Term::ReadLine::Zoid 0.07

Term::ReadLine::Zoid is a Perl module that provides a set of modules that form an interactive input buffer written in plain perl with minimal dependencies. It features almost all key-bindings described in the posix spec for the sh(1) utility with some extensions like multiline editing; this includes a vi-command mode with a save-buffer (for copy-pasting) and an undo-stack.

Historically this code was part of the Zoidberg shell, but this implementation is complete independent from zoid and uses the Term::ReadLine interface, so it can be used with other perl programs.

( The documentation sometimes referes to 'the application', this is the program using the ReadLine module for input. )

SYNOPSIS

 # In your app:
 use Term::ReadLine;
 my $term = Term::ReadLine->new("my app");
 
 my $prompt = "eval: ";
 my $OUT = $term->OUT || *STDOUT;
 while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
 # Think while () {}
 my $res = eval($_);
 warn $@ if $@;
 print $OUT $res, "
" unless $@;
 }
 
 # In some rc file
 export PERL_RL=Zoid
