Sepia's second main contribution is an interactive interface (REPL) to an inferior Perl process in comint mode. The interface is based on comint-mode, and inherits many of its bindings; this chapter discusses only the Sepia extensions. In addition to the standard interactive REPL, Sepia provides a number of other ways to evaluate pieces of code in Perl, and commands to process buffer regions with Perl.
To start or switch to the repl, type M-x sepia-repl. As
sepia-mode, <TAB> in the REPL performs partial-word completion with
sepia-complete-symbol
. However, it also supports filename
completion like standard comint mode.
