How to mimic a CLI using perl with STDIN

I would like to mimic linux command line behavior from inside a perl
script.

I guess the only thing I'm missing us the up/down arrow behavior
(scrolll up/down the previous input line(s) stack)

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

It sounds like you're talking about the "history" functionality that
most Term::ReadLine implementations provide. Check out that module's
documentation for more information.

Good luck with it!
