RE: Simple Calculator

[cwest]

That's pretty cool, here's a simple calculator too ;-)

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict; $|++; print "> ";
print eval, "\n> " while chomp( $_ = <STDIN> );

Enjoy!

This can be done in a one-liner:

perl -ple '$_ = "> " . eval'

which you can add to your .bashrc file using:

alias calc='perl -ple '\''$_ = "> " . eval'\'''

You can exit the loop with ^D.
