Description:

This is the implementation of a command-line interpreter for Perl. I wrote
this because I was tired of using B<irb> when needing a calculator with a
real language within. Ah, that and because it was damn easy to write it.

This module is the heart of the B<pirl> script provided with B<Shell-Perl>
distribution, along with this module.
