I thought to allow things like perl5: code-to-run that would be executed in a perl 5 repl. just as there is padre: command this could also work with perl6: command > I currently don't have a good name for such a thing, but I would > strongly suggest to not call it "command line", for the above > reasons (I assume that many others think like me ...).
