I think there could be an intermediate form, or something for "one line programmers in training". That is, a small editor window or a button on your general editor to say "run it NOW" without having to make up a file name and save it, but still be able to easily edit and retry.
Perhaps a perl script that when run from the command shell, pops up this window and saves the stuff in a temp file implicitly; output when 'run' goes to the same shell window (and context) that you started from. Run it again and you get a window that remembers the contents from last time, so you can alter and try again. Maybe I'll play around with that and post it if I come up with something worth keeping.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
