stty: stdin isn't a terminal

[demianriccardi]

using the command line from a cell with back ticks worked for me before (e.g. perldoc Foo::Bar), but not with the most recent changes.

Oh, this is a particular issue with using a backtick on perldoc. perldoc tries to detect if it is on a terminal or not.

Try:

print `perldoc Try::Tiny 2>/dev/null`;

[zmughal]

You can make a helper function for that too!

IPerl->helper( get_perldoc => sub {
    shift;
    print `perldoc @_ 2>/dev/null`;
    return; # so that the final return value is not printed
});

# ...
IPerl->get_perldoc('Try::Tiny');

[zmughal]

Or, if you want to get fancy:

IPerl->helper( get_perldoc => sub {
    shift;
    my $html =  `perldoc -ohtml @_ 2>/dev/null`;
    return IPerl->html( $html );
});

# ...
IPerl->get_perldoc('Try::Tiny');
