Devel::REPL::Plugin::MultiLine::PPI - Read lines until all blocks are closed
version 1.003029
use Devel::REPL; my $repl = Devel::REPL->new; $repl->load_plugin('LexEnv'); $repl->load_plugin('History'); $repl->load_plugin('MultiLine::PPI'); $repl->run;
Plugin that will collect lines until you have no unfinished structures. This lets you write subroutines, if statements, loops, etc. more naturally.
if
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.
