DESCRIPTION

Term::ShellKit provides a Perl-oriented interactive command-line interpretation framework.

COMMANDS

Commands can start with a function name defined in one of the Command Packages, or with a fully-qualified Package::function name.

That function is checked for a prototype which will control how the rest of the line is processed. By default, space-separated words and quoted phrases are split and used as arguments to the function.

A number of pre-defined functions in Term::ShellKit::Commands are available by default, and you can load additional command packages with the kit function it provides.
