Perl Shell (pshell)

A modular Perl shell with SQLite command history and environment variables.

Notes

No job control, but that is what programs like tmux are for anyway. Fairly, basic shell, but modular. This does depend on some modules. Also still a work in progress.

Dependencies

DBI
DBD::SQLite
Term::ReadLine
Cwd
File::HomeDir
Environment::SQLite (for environment variables, part of the source)
History::SQLite (for command history, part of the source)

If they are not marked as part of the source for the shell, you will need to install them manually. Via cpan or your package manager.

Features

Executes shell commands
Logs all commands to SQLite database
Stores environment variables in SQLite database
Modular design for easy extension

Installation

Install dependencies:
```
cpanm --installdeps .
```
Make the shell executable:
```
chmod +x pshell.pl
```
Run the shell:
```
./pshell.pl
```

Usage

Type commands as you would in a normal shell
Type 'exit' to quit
Command history is stored in pshell_history.db
Environment variables are stored in pshell_env.db
