.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.Vb 1

.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This program reads input a line, and evaluates it by perl interpreter,
and prints the result. If the result is a list value then each value
of the list is printed line by line. This program can be used as a
very strong calculator which has whole perl functions.
.PP
This is a sample program Term::ReadLine::Gnu module. When you input a
line, the line editing function of \s-1GNU\s0 Readline Library is available.
Perl symbol name completion function is also available.
.PP
Before invoking, this program reads \fI~/.perlshrc\fR and evaluates the
content of the file.
.PP
When this program is terminated, the content of the history buffer is
saved in a file \fI~/.perlsh_history\fR, and it is read at next
invoking.
.SH "VARIABLES"
.IX Header "VARIABLES"
You can customize the behavior of \f(CW\*(C`perlsh\*(C'\fR by setting following
variables in \fI~/.perlshrc\fR;
.ie n .IP "$PerlSh::PS1" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$PerlSh::PS1\fR" 4
.IX Item "$PerlSh::PS1"
The primary prompt string. The following backslash-escaped special
characters can be used.
.Sp
.Vb 4
\& \eh: host name
\& \eu: user name
\& \ew: package name
\& \e!: history number
.Ve
.Sp
The default value is `\f(CW\*(C`\ew[\e!]$ \*(C'\fR'.
.ie n .IP "$PerlSh::PS2" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$PerlSh::PS2\fR" 4
.IX Item "$PerlSh::PS2"
The secondary prompt string. The default value is `\f(CW\*(C`> \*(C'\fR'.
.ie n .IP "$PerlSh::HISTFILE" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$PerlSh::HISTFILE\fR" 4
.IX Item "$PerlSh::HISTFILE"
The name of the file to which the command history is saved. The
default value is \f(CW\*(C`~/.perlsh_history\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP "$PerlSh::HISTSIZE" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$PerlSh::HISTSIZE\fR" 4
.IX Item "$PerlSh::HISTSIZE"
If not \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR, this is the maximum number of commands to remember in
the history. The default value is 256.
.ie n .IP "$PerlSh::STRICT" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$PerlSh::STRICT\fR" 4
.IX Item "$PerlSh::STRICT"
If true, restrict unsafe constructs. See \f(CW\*(C`use strict\*(C'\fR in perl man
page. The default value is 0;

This file is eval-ed at initialization. If a subroutine \f(CW\*(C`afterinit\*(C'\fR
is defined in this file, it will be eval-ed after initialization.
Here is a sample.
