INTERFACE

Defaults to the value of $^X (that is, Perl itself).

runtime_options

Returns Perl options which turn it into a CLI emulator:

 -ne 'BEGIN { $| = 1 }; print $_, time, "\nPROMPT>\n";'

For example:

 some command
 some command
 1301578196
 PROMPT>

In this case the output command was "some command" which was echoed, followed by the dummy command output (epoch seconds), followed by a "prompt".
