NAME
Devel::REPL::Plugin::MultiLine::PPI - read lines until all blocks are closed
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::REPL; my $repl = Devel::REPL->new; $repl->load_plugin('LexEnv'); $repl->load_plugin('History'); $repl->load_plugin('MultiLine::PPI'); $repl->run;
DESCRIPTION
Plugin that will collect lines until you have no unfinished structures. This lets you write subroutines, "if" statements, loops, etc. more naturally. For example, without a MultiLine plugin, $ my $x = 3; 3 $ if ($x == 3) { will throw a compile error, because that "if" statement is incomplete. With a MultiLine plugin, $ my $x = 3; 3 $ if ($x == 3) { > print "OH NOES!" > } OH NOES 1 you may write the code across multiple lines, such as in "irb" and "python". This module uses PPI. This plugin is named "MultiLine::PPI" because someone else may conceivably implement similar behavior some other less dependency-heavy way.
