My use of CLIs doesn't necessarily reflect the use pattern of others i.e. common requirements And I already rolled up my sleeves long ago and patched the debugger for my needs.

My alternatives are limited.	[reply]

Oh, I see... You're basically asking why other people are unlike you: what could they possibly lack in a perl CLI when it serves your purposes perfectly. Try turning the argument around. Why would someone pick perl over bash. Consider various possibilities, different job descriptions, etc. Also remember, introspection is good for you, 'slong as you don't succumb to infinite recursion. `;)` Oh, and for heavens sake, stop slapping everyone with the -1.

I understand this is an old thread, but the concept is interesting. It would definitely be nice to have a shell with perl capabilities. Handling arrays and hashes from the shell would be super fantastic. Handling regex matches like perl can do would be extremely awesome. Yes, this is a good idea indeed, would help with perl revival IMHO.	[reply]
