Description-en: small program that lets you evaluate Perl code interactively
Perl Console is a light program that lets you evaluate Perl code
interactively. It uses Readline for grabing input and provides completion
with all the namespaces loaded during your session.
.
This is pretty useful for Perl developers that write modules.
You can load a module in your session and test a function exported by the
module.
