I've been working with Perl long enough that many of its idiosyncracies have become second nature to me. When new programmers join our group, they frequently have little to no experience with Perl, and it's usually my task to train them (to the extent...

Nor have I EVER heard any conversation of "Perl can not do X from Perl6.

How can I start an interactive console for Perl, similar to the irb command for Ruby or python for Python?

Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at stackoverflow):
You can however use....
perl -d -e 1
There isn't an interactive console for Perl built in like Python does.
perl -d is your friend:
% perl -de 0
You can always just drop into the built-in debugger and run commands from there.

perl 5 basically gives you the standard socket(), bind and unpack and maybe vec is enough.
It comes standard with perl 5.
Socket().
