Script's content:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl

    use Devel::REPL::Script 'run';

Package description:

    Devel::REPL is a Moose-based and very flexible module to create
    Read-Evaluate-Print-Loops (REPL) in Perl

So I thought `repl' could be used. bin/repl not found by apt-file.

However, here are may points against it:

    * the script is trivial  (OK, that doesn't sound very serious)
    * there is no man/POD documentation about it. Devel::REPL(3pm) is 
      scarse, to say it mildly.
    * it doesn't work here:

        $ perl /usr/share/doc/libdevel-repl-perl/examples/re.pl The 
        method 'setup_commands' is not found in the inheritance 
        hierarchy for class Class::MOP::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::6 at 
        /usr/lib/perl5/Class/MOP/Class.pm line 652
        (followed by a long backtrace)
