Enabling interactive Perl programming (Ubuntu)

#1

I’ve recently switched to Sublime Text 3 from Eclipse EPIC and I’ve had a very positive experience with it so far, except for one fairly significant productivity issue. Practically all of the exercises in my introductory Perl book have so far required taking input, which I’m having a hard time making happen.

I set up the custom build file from the following post (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=935014) to run scripts directly and I’ve also installed REPL on top of that, but I’m still unable to provide input through the bottom console. Is there a way to enable input for scripts built via Ctrl+B, preferably with the console messages getting a little less in the way? I’m currently stuck with having to fire up the terminal every time, which doesn’t make for a particularly smooth learning experience.
