undef

undef EXPR undef Undefines the value of EXPR, which must be an lvalue. Use only on a scalar value, an array (using @ ), a hash (using % ), a subroutine (using & ), or a typeglob (using * ). Saying undef $hash{$key} will probably not do what you expect on most predefined variables or DBM list values, so don't do that; see delete. Always returns the undefined value. You can omit the EXPR, in which case nothing is undefined, but you still get an undefined value that you could, for instance, re

umask

umask EXPR umask Sets the umask for the process to EXPR and returns the previous value. If EXPR is omitted, merely returns the current umask. The Unix permission rwxr-x--- is represented as three sets of three bits, or three octal digits: 0750 (the leading 0 indicates octal and isn't one of the digits). The umask value is such a number representing disabled permissions bits. The permission (or "mode") values you pass mkdir or sysopen are modified by your umask, so even if you tell sysopen to cr

ucfirst

ucfirst EXPR ucfirst Returns the value of EXPR with the first character in uppercase (titlecase in Unicode). This is the internal function implementing the \u escape in double-quoted strings. If EXPR is omitted, uses $_ . This function behaves the same way under various pragma, such as in a locale, as lc does.

uc

uc EXPR uc Returns an uppercased version of EXPR. This is the internal function implementing the \U escape in double-quoted strings. It does not attempt to do titlecase mapping on initial letters. See ucfirst for that. If EXPR is omitted, uses $_ . This function behaves the same way under various pragma, such as in a locale, as lc does.

truncate

truncate FILEHANDLE,LENGTH truncate EXPR,LENGTH Truncates the file opened on FILEHANDLE, or named by EXPR, to the specified length. Raises an exception if truncate isn't implemented on your system. Returns true if successful, undef on error. The behavior is undefined if LENGTH is greater than the length of the file. The position in the file of FILEHANDLE is left unchanged. You may want to call seek before writing to the file. Portability issues: truncate in perlport.

tr

tr/// The transliteration operator. Same as y///. See Quote-Like Operators in perlop.

times

times Returns a four-element list giving the user and system times in seconds for this process and any exited children of this process. ($user,$system,$cuser,$csystem) = times; In scalar context, times returns $user . Children's times are only included for terminated children. Portability issues: times in perlport.

Time::tm - internal object used by Time::gmtime and Time::localtime

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION AUTHOR NAME Time::tm - internal object used by Time::gmtime and Time::localtime SYNOPSIS Don't use this module directly. DESCRIPTION This module is used internally as a base class by Time::localtime And Time::gmtime functions. It creates a Time::tm struct object which is addressable just like's C's tm structure from time.h; namely with sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday, yday, and isdst. This class is an internal interface only. AUTHOR Tom Christiansen
