Try perl -d, then type Ctrl+D once to start with an empty script
(Ctrl+D works in Cygwin, may be Ctrl+Z in ActivePerl). Use h for
help. You can type Perl expressions for immediate evaluation. If you
want to type something complex, you can, but it all has to appear on
one line. For example, this works:
while (++$i < 5) { print "$i\n"; }
but you can't type it on multiple lines like in Python.

Subject: Introducing Interactive Perl
I've been doing some Perl programming lately, and wished there was an
interactive environment like Python or Ruby. There probably is one or
more by a 3rd party, but I have not found one in the ActiveState
distribution of Perl for Windows. Since I had developed an Interactive
JScript environment using the .NET Framework, I thought I would try to
port the same ideas to a project with Perl and the native Win32 API. Here
is my initial attempt.

Interactive Perl
Version 1.0
October 23, 2008
Copyright 2008 by Jamal Mazrui
LGPL license
Interactive Perl (IPL) is a console mode environment for testing and
evaluating code in the Perl language. Run ipl.exe to start a session.
The file html.zip contains documentation on the modules bundled in the
executable. Of course, there are other ways of finding relevant
documentation and examples.
I invite Perl programmers to contribute to this project. Below is the
online help of this initial version:
Type a Perl statement or expression, followed by Enter.
A trailing semicolon (;) is not needed, but it may be used to seperate
multiple
statements on the same line.
Many modules are packaged in the executable,
so a 'use' statement is not needed:
Date::Calc, English, File::Basename, File::Slurp,
HTML::HeadParser, HTML::LinkExtor, HTML::Parser, HTML::Tagset,
HTML::TokeParser,
List::Util, LWP, LWP::Simple, LWP::UserAgent,
Scalar::Util, String::Util, Term::Screen::Win32, Text::Autoformat,
Text::Reform,
URI,
Win32, Win32::ActAcc, Win32::API, Win32::Clipboard, Win32::Console,
Win32::Exe,
Win32::FetchCommand, Win32::File, Win32::FileOp, Win32::FileTime,
Win32::GUI, Win32::GuiTest, Win32::Job, Win32::OLE, Win32::OLE::Const,
Win32::OL
E::Variant, Win32::Process, Win32::Service.
In addition, some built-in commands are available.
A command name is lower case, with a space before each argument,
and no quotes around it.
exit or quit = end this program
cls = clear the screen
eval FileName = execute a Perl script file
log FileName = log this session to a file
log off = stop logging
help = display this documentation
