-e evaluates one expression. Quote it to protect spaces and glyphs from the shell.
basedpl -e '+/⍳10' # 55
Pass a UTF-8 APL file to run it as one source. Names persist throughout the file.
basedpl lesson.apl
Expressions display results; assignments are silent. Use ⎕← for explicit output. Diagnostics go to stderr and include source locations.
With no arguments, piped input behaves like the REPL without prompts. Names persist between expressions.
printf 'v←⍳10\n+/v\n' | basedpl
- reads all stdin as one source before evaluation.
printf 'v←⍳10\n+/v\n' | basedpl -
Use actual glyphs in files, pipes and -e; backtick names are a REPL input method.
