in reply to Interactive Emacs/Perl environment

I think what you've done is very cool, however I always created a Perl scratch pad by doing:

C-x b *perl-scratch* RET
M-x cperl-mode RET

[download]

And, to evaluate it from inside the buffer *perl-scratch*:

C-h M-| perl RET

[download]

By the way, can you put some <readmore> tags around your code?

    Yeah, your way of evaluating probably works fine. On the other hand, I can do things like this: 
    use Inline C => 'int square(int x) { return x * x; }'; \C-j
square(square(23)); \C-j

    [download]
    and both statements will be sent to the same Perl. I guess that makes it "more interactive" or something. The real gain is, in theory, in the cross-referencing.

    Thanks for pointing out the "readmore" -- I didn't realize that you needed to close the tag before it took effect.
