3 Interactive Perl

Sepia's second main contribution is an interactive interface (REPL) to an inferior Perl process. The interface is based on GUD mode, and inherits many of its bindings; this chapter discusses only the Sepia extensions. To start or switch to the repl, type M-x sepia-repl. As in Sepia mode, <TAB> in the REPL performs partial-word completion with sepia-complete-symbol.

Sepia also provides a number of other ways to evaluate pieces of code in Perl, and commands to process buffer text using the inferior process.
