Thanks! Thats exactly what I was aiming for. I'm glad that came across. I was thinking the same thing although I didn't actually discover https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl/ un…

You rock. You have high fidelity repls for python and ruby. The Perl hi fi repl is called Reply ( https://metacpan.org/pod/Reply ). If you are interested check out the plugins -- e…
