SYNOPSIS perldoc -opod Some::Modulename (That's currently the same as the following:) perldoc -u Some::Modulename DESCRIPTION This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to display Pod source as itself! Pretty Zen, huh? Currently this class works by just filtering out the non-Pod stuff from a given input file. SEE ALSO Pod::Perldoc COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMERS Cop

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION DIAGNOSTICS BUGS AUTHOR NAME Term::Complete - Perl word completion module SYNOPSIS $input = Complete('prompt_string', \@completion_list); $input = Complete('prompt_string', @completion_list); DESCRIPTION This routine provides word completion on the list of words in the array (or array ref). The tty driver is put into raw mode and restored using an operating system specific command, in UNIX-like environments stty . The following command characters are defined: <t

format Declare a picture format for use by the write function. For example: format Something = Test: @<<<<<<<< @||||| @>>>>> $str, $%, '$' . int($num) . $str = "widget"; $num = $cost/$quantity; $~ = 'Something'; write; See perlform for many details and examples.

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION AUTHOR NAME Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname SYNOPSIS use Sys::Hostname; $host = hostname; DESCRIPTION Attempts several methods of getting the system hostname and then caches the result. It tries the first available of the C library's gethostname(), `$Config{aphostname}` , uname(2), syscall(SYS_gethostname), `hostname` , `uname -n` , and the file /com/host. If all that fails it croak s. All NULs, returns, and newlines are removed from the re

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTIONOverridden methods AUTHOR NAME ExtUtils::MM_Win95 - method to customize MakeMaker for Win9X SYNOPSIS You should not be using this module directly. DESCRIPTION This is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Win32 containing changes necessary to get MakeMaker playing nice with command.com and other Win9Xisms. Overridden methods Most of these make up for limitations in the Win9x/nmake command shell. Mostly its lack of &&. xs_c The && problem. xs_cpp The &&am

$( The real gid of this process. If you are on a machine that supports membership in multiple groups simultaneously, gives a space separated list of groups you are in. The first number is the one returned by getgid() , and the subsequent ones by getgroups() , one of which may be the same as the first number. However, a value assigned to $( must be a single number used to set the real gid. So the value given by $( should not be assigned back to $( without being forced numeric, such as by adding

unpack TEMPLATE,EXPR unpack TEMPLATE unpack does the reverse of pack: it takes a string and expands it out into a list of values. (In scalar context, it returns merely the first value produced.) If EXPR is omitted, unpacks the $_ string. See perlpacktut for an introduction to this function. The string is broken into chunks described by the TEMPLATE. Each chunk is converted separately to a value. Typically, either the string is a result of pack, or the characters of the string represent a C stru

NAME DESCRIPTION NAME Net::FTP::dataconn - FTP Client data connection class DESCRIPTION Some of the methods defined in Net::FTP return an object which will be derived from this class. The dataconn class itself is derived from the IO::Socket::INET class, so any normal IO operations can be performed. However the following methods are defined in the dataconn class and IO should be performed using these. read ( BUFFER, SIZE [, TIMEOUT ] ) Read SIZE bytes of data from the server and place it into

NAME DEPRECATED HISTORY SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONS METHODS DEFUNCT SEE ALSO NAME Thread - Manipulate threads in Perl (for old code only) DEPRECATED The Thread module served as the frontend to the old-style thread model, called 5005threads, that was introduced in release 5.005. That model was deprecated, and has been removed in version 5.10. For old code and interim backwards compatibility, the Thread module has been reworked to function as a frontend for the new interpreter threads (ithre

delete EXPR Given an expression that specifies an element or slice of a hash, delete deletes the specified elements from that hash so that exists() on that element no longer returns true. Setting a hash element to the undefined value does not remove its key, but deleting it does; see exists. In list context, returns the value or values deleted, or the last such element in scalar context. The return list's length always matches that of the argument list: deleting non-existent elements returns th
