Subject: history-like functon for W::M::S scripts
Hello, First it would be great if the "history" documentation would tell you that it is dumping out your history /as a W::M script/ and not just the commands you typed in. More significantly, I would like a function like "history" that /does/ dump out just a list of the commands you typed in. In the cases where I'm using my shell session as the basis for a more complicated script, it's nice to have the Perl generated. However, if I'm able to generate a complete script using W::M::S, I would just assume have the simplicity of capturing the shell style commands, which are easier to grok. Since I'm still wishing here, 'rcfile' and 'source_file' are currently only documented by example. I would like documentation that shows an easy way to run an rcfile. I think these bits of functionality and documentation will help to make it super-easy to write test scripts for web applications and other useful tools. Thanks Max!
