hello ShainEdge and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

you can play with Term::ReadLine to accomplish your task. The following oneliner is a windows version and you have to force the underlaying readline module setting PERL_RL ENV var and also TERM one to be empty (not DUMB as cmd.exe IS DUMB ;)

perl -MTerm::ReadLine -E "BEGIN{$ENV{PERL_RL}='Perl';$ENV{TERM}=''}  $
+term = Term::ReadLine->new(); $txt='spaghetti,pomodoro,vino'; $txt=$t
+erm->readline('edit:',$txt); say 'new:',$txt"

edit:spaghetti,pomodoro,vino  # you now edit the line erasing 'pomodor
+o' and hit RETURN

new:spaghetti, vino

To adapt to Linux use single quotes around the oneliiner and double quotes inside it; you can probably remove the BEGIN block too.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
